...marines marched up to the palace to the tune of Colonel Bogie March. In wave upon wave, the royal procession proceeded to the town hall, silver-helmeted motorcyclists, limousines with the visiting kings and queens, six glittering coaches for the bridal couple, Queen Juliana, Prince Bernhard and their three younger daughters, and Claus's widowed mother, together with rank upon rank of blue-uniformed cavalry officers with high fur busbies. Said a watching Dutchman: "We look more military than the Germans...
...coin, the labor shortage poses major problems for businessmen who are struggling to keep costs down and production up. The factory work week has jumped to a postwar high of 41.1 hours, and the average U.S. worker is pulling down 3.6 hours of overtime a week.

The passage of time will only dim his memory, cloud his recollection of passing acquaintances and faces, so that the name of his classmate down the hall...
...fact the present rule deprives those who are closest to the problems of students--in age and experience--of the opportunity to influence the choice of powerful overseers; it virtually precludes representation of younger, more concerned men on the Board; and it encourages voting along class lines. The five years out of college will not provide any kind of wisdom indispensible to the solemn task of choosing overseers. This rule, an apparent holdover from Reconstruction days, should be abolished...
