 Coronet has reprinted Taylor's talk in the belief that it conveys an enduring and timeless message to all who must live through the sobering years that lie ahead.

 "The constitution was destroyed long ago." was ChOate's reply. T am now living under the bylaws" :"

class a nice 10 per cent of the re-
turns on the tickets they sold.
