There was Gregory Louis Hamilton, lean and dark, who liked to sit at Vag's desk and write in those great red and black law notchooks. Next came Phil who worked just as hard as Gregory, but he seemed to enjoy it a little more.

(except when the 1935-37 drought necessitated unusual imports of Argentine grain) ordinarily buys less from Argentina than she sells her, does not enjoy Argentina's favor. Long a sore point with Argentina is the prohibition against the import of fresh Argentine meat to the U.
