Getting Funny
In that election another proof given that the
professors are getting contact with ordinary lite
and liking it, One vote went to 'the big bad WOLF.
Humor is always agreeable but what worries me Is
that economist, in a hundred or so, eVloenCly
thought it didn't matter whether you elected souno
money man infationist This contempt tor the
whole business is dangerous for II 1t spreads we VIII

above tradition It has been said Tin minority reports
