...Young Henry's plan was as revolutionary as his grandfather's $5-a-day wage was in 1914. The U.A.W., which had threatened to strike if it did not get the plan, apparently agreed. It loudly proclaimed that the joint U.A.W.-Ford pension plan would be a pattern for all other automakers to follow.

...approached the low established in the early thirties, and on his return he had to assemble a completely new gridiron machine. But, his first postwar team achieved much more in the way of a notable record than did his initial squad in 1935.

...geographical distribution of foreign students closely follows the pattern established last year when 82 men from other countries were in Cambridge. China, with seven students, has climbed closer to its normal position at the head of the numerical list.

Crotchet Castle and Nightmare Abbey, a goodnatured, witty caricature of Shelley as Scythrop dowry, the baffled lover, are probably the best of Peacock and least likely to bog the reader in temporary verbal swamps...
