Pertaining to the Watts Case

... ("Peelers") alike, and was one of the founders of the modern-day Conservative Party in Britain. What does it say about us, today, that almost two centuries later we can't measure up to the ethics of an old Tory? -- Steve would also like to direct folks' attention to Peel's prison reforms; there are more ways of dealing with crime than becoming more brutal than the criminals, even for those of ...

Угадаечка

Вопрос к читателям: можете ли вы без поисковиков определить автора следующей цитаты (перевод мой): Наклонность восхищаться, доходя до почти молитвенного экстаза, богатыми и могущественными, и презирать или по крайней мере пренебрегать людьми бедного состояния [...] является значительной и почти всеобщей причиной разложения нашего морального чувства.

However, I still rushed home early from work yesterday so I could bring Olive to see Dr. Lee, the exotics veterinarian at Angell Memorial.

Hence I readily encourage efforts to promote a greater sense...
