Suspended as superintendent-general of the Kurmark church district in 1933, he continued his resistance by writing clandestine leaflets-for which he was arrested several times...

The erosion of some stone statuary and buildings is also greatly speeded by high concentrations of sulphur oxides...
...tastier rivalries in U.S. business involves the nation's two major wine-producing states: California and New York. California, with its sunny climate and rich soil, is far in the lead. It sells a full three-fourths of domestic wines (143 million gallons) and conducts a vast promotion campaign, currently featuring the barrel-chested baritone on horseback who peals (and pours) Gallo's praises...
