...brother; Joe Martinez, secretary to Senator Chavez, the New Dealer whom Jim Farley got appointed after Senator Bronson Cutting was killed in an air crash. Swart, Spanish-blooded poor-but-proud Senator Dennis Chavez, who got credit for most of the Federal funds obtained for New Mexico, also beheld four of his close relatives indicted: his son-in-law, Assistant U.

Thrice the lawyers begged the Pope-instanter, instantius and instantis-sime-to grant the canonizations. The Pope, imploring...
...glanced at the name on the window of the establishment and beheld the inscription: "IVY CORSET SHOPPE." Frankly, the name stumped us. Ivy is a beautiful plant, and corsets make women more beautiful. Was this the relation the Shoppe was trying to imply, we wondered?
