Above the Führer flew 162 warplanes in formation. Before him passed in review for four hours the flower of his Army, some 40,000 men in full fighting regalia.

Then the beautifully trained Rockettes-coiffed like nuns, wearing satiny white habits, carrying bunches of lilies-deployed across the cathedral-like set, lined...
...solid ground is fully demonstrated by the success of a combination such as History and Literature. The emphasis and the trend from specialization is the same. Ultimately, when all the implications have been realized, and when a capable staff has been trained, the area system may conceivably flower forth in its full glory...
