Indeed, there has been no

Beset by massive economic

a bargaining position: yet
there likely isn't one to deny

enthusiastic about it and others
thought, If the judge doesn't

against it-they just resisted

Mr.. Shovel said he forced the
bill to a vote and it passed with
one dissenting vote. Acceptance

getting the bill passed was not
enough. He had to write a book
