...drifting away revealing the highly unpleasant fact that liquor prices are exorbitantly high and in some cases prohibitive. Despite the unctuous announcement of the distillers that they would have an abundance of whiskey on the market at $1.50 a quart, the cheapest blended whiskey obtainable costs $2.75 and the uncut variety runs from $5.00 to $8.00. Even more outrageous than the prices of hard liquors are those charged for wine. Domestic wines sell for about $1.50 a quart, while the imported product is considered cheap at $3.00; served in a hotel dining room these prices are nearly doubled. Liquor...
Another important assistant was Francis Globy Await, acting Comptroller of the Currency, also a Republican holdover, who looks a little like Ogden Livingston Mills and smokes a 6-in. cigar at about the same angle. Mr. Await, so rushed that his uncut black hair hung over the tops of his ears, kept saying: "We're snowed under, we're snowed under."

After several years of displacing boulders the candidate is considered tough enough to begin learning...
...America." Miss Hurst, and many another U. S. citizen, pounced simultaneously on a Priestley error of fact. He had said that Americans buy but do not read books, cited as proof the fact that an English friend had found Sinclair Lewis novels in homes throughout the U. S. "uncut." As Americans know, all trade editions of Mr. Lewis' novels, and nearly all U. S. novels, are machine cut, defy detection as to whether they have been read...
