But in their mind's eye his visitors could see attack planes, spitting death at the horsemen on the crowded slope, or diving at them during their brief massing before they could dismount and take cover; or enemy scout cars and tanks, crawling across the bondocks toward flowing (and temporarily defenseless) horsemen...
...complex in railroad history. Within its short 2.2 miles, contractors burrowed under or over six other rapid transit tunnels, had to hold up the heavy overhead Sixth Avenue El (since torn down) and most of the buildings along the route with piles driven down to bed rock.

In an elementary course in physics, for example, there are unreal hypothesis. Friction may be ignored, or no account may be taken of developments in quanta analysis. A subject has to start somewhere. It is better to start from the assumption that tractors can be converted into printing presses than from...
