...know that the metaphor was used by some other public speaker during the great agitation led by my father round about 1920. His only connection with the metaphor was to deplore the use of such language even to express a truth. On a pure point of fact it is necessary to emphasize that Gandhi was one of the most refined persons in the world, refined in his scanty dress, in his speech, in his manners.

An estimated 3,000,000 Americans are deaf enough to use hearing aids. But only 800,000 do. One reason is the price. Most units sell for between $100 and $200 and cost the user about $75 to $100 a year for batteries. Another reason is vanity. The hard of hearing hate to admit...
