It’s Two Sentences From A Book!

“It was a time of gloom in the country among social and political liberals, who saw the carefully built but still incomplete structure of the Kennedy-Johnson extension of the New Deal undermined by the Nixon administration. The antipoverty program was being whittled away; racial justice was impeded by benign—and not so benign—neglect; efforts to move forward in health and housing were frustrated.”

Two Sentences From A Book!

“In the second dynasty of Tilantongo, the codices have much to tell about a great warlord named 8 Deer “Jaguar Claw,” who lived during the Calendar Round which began in AD 1063 and ended in 1115. When he rose to power, he attacked a town known as Red and White Bundle, located to the east of Tilantongo, sacrificing both the lord of that place and (somewhat unchivalrously) his wife Lady 6 Monkey, who had been princess of Mountain of the Place of Sand.”

Um, Nintendo on line seven…

“As an example of a third-brush-regulated Delco motor-generator we will use the Delco electric system on one of the first models of the Hudson “Super-Six” cars, models “H” (1916-17) and model “J” (1918).
