To those, however, who really love the Union may I not speak?

"Woe unto the world because of offences; for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that mam by whom the offence cometh!" If we shall suppose that American Slavery is one of those offences which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time

He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South, this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a Living God always ascribe to Him?

To those people in the huts and villages across the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them, help themselves, for whatever period is required - not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right.

Finally, to those nations who would make them-selves our adversary, we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace, before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction.

Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.

The Lido was one of those incredibly lavish productions that could be seen nowhere in the world but Vegas, for it was only in Las Vegas that a multimillion-dollar show could be staged year after year with little concern for profit; such vast sums were spent on the elaborate sets and costumes, and on the enormous cast and crew, that the hotel was usually happy if the production merely broke even from ticket and drink sales

Her obsessive fear of intruders in the house, her disquieting dreams about Danny, her renewed grief - all of those things might grow from her concern about Magyck! If that were the case, then those symptoms would disappear as soon as the fate of the show was evident

In one of her terrible seizures of grief, in a moment of crazy dark despair, had she come into this room and unknowingly printed those words on Danny's chalkboard?

And the obvious reference that those two words made to the bus accident in which he had perished?

Danny, of course, had been writing about something else, and the dark interpretation that could be drawn from those two words now, after his death, was just a macabre coincidence.

Ramparts of pale pink stone stretched hundreds of feet on both sides of the entrance; those walls were windowless and garishly decorated with giant stone coins, a gushing torrent of coins flooding from a stone cornucopia

Someone had come into the house while she was out and had printed those two words on the chalkboard again

But if Michael hadn't torn up Danny's room, if Michael hadn't written those words on the chalkboard, then who had?

She scanned the list of VIP customers who hadn't attended the opening of Magyck! Using a red pencil, she circled those names that were followed by anniversary dates, trying to ascertain how large a promotion she was proposing

The names and addresses of VIP customers who had missed the opening of Magyck! - Along with the wedding anniversaries of those who were married - began to appear on the screen, scrolling upward

It wasn't Danny tapping out those words

Tina kept a well-stocked bar in one corner of her office for those infrequent occasions when a business associate needed a drink after a long work session

For a long, long time, they forgot that death existed, and they explored the delicious, silken surfaces of love, and it seemed to them, in those shining hours, that they would both live forever.

He'd had other women in this bed during the past two years, and a few had stayed the night, but not one of those other lovers had made him feel content merely by the fact of her presence, as Tina did

The smell of her, the vibrant blue of her eyes, the feel of her supple skin as he put a hand to her face - those things generated waves of affection and longing within him.

This was perfect weather for flying, one of those crystalline days when being above the earth would make him feel clean and free.

He rammed his knee into his adversary's crotch and tore the gun out of the bear-paw hand as those clutching fingers went slack

In those days, it had been easy to play the hunter

If this Vince is still there, we should use those drugs on him

It was Jacklin's job to conceive new welfare programs, convince the Secretary of Health and Welfare that those programs were needed, sell them to the Congress, and then establish convincing bureaucratic shells to conceal the fact that the programs were utterly phony; and as federal funds flowed to these false-front operations, the money was diverted to the Network

She held Danny close, and she stared into his dark eyes, and she wasn't able to comfort herself with those words from the Bible

Among those in whom it struck a chord were the aforementioned producer, studio executives, and network pooh-bahs

They might have been talented folks who, in the past, had produced works to rival those of Shakespeare and who, in the future, might produce thousands of pages of sheer genius

No one threatened my life; neither of these women had an unkempt beard (or a kempt one for that matter); neither of them presented us with a body-odor problem; and neither of them indulged in furious political rants that sprayed spittle on those of us who just wanted to make a TV movie.

I had spent more time in useless development meetings than I had required to write both of those screenplays.

'He came to me for help and those men murdered him! I'm going to find them, if it's the last thing I do!' he said to me, and he hurried out of the house.

But there was no possible doubt because the fingerprints of his left hand were the same as those found all over his laboratory and up at the house.

All I could do was hope that those defences would continue to break down.

'Well, I'm glad it's neither of those two

'But which of those choices do you think would be your duty?'

But I don't want all those eyes looking at me

'I hope you don't take too many of those,' I said.

'I suppose he took too many of those?'

'Keep those fools back,' said Ogilvy

After this it seemed that the three Martians spoke together, and those who were watching them report that they stayed absolutely quiet for the next half-hour

We could only wait and be bored during those two days.

We were very different people with different habits of thought and action, and those differences increased because we were living together in this dangerous place

Let's crawl under those bushes and talk.'

All these - the sort of people that lived in these houses, all those little office workers that used to live down that way - they'd be no good

I turned and looked down the slope of the hill at those two other Martians that I had seen the previous night

All the ships in the world seemed to be coming to London in those days

'Now, go back to Norbury, and when you see that those people have returned to the cottage, call us

Medical science was not advanced in those days

Can you hear spirits singing sad songs - the songs of those who died in these waters?' he will take you by the arm and say, 'I understand, my friend

Packing is one of those things that I do best.

We also knew that those people were not happy.

'Ei, those are beautiful shoes

One of those things which, with luck, will keep them together for some time to come.
