We were back on the road.

We were slowing.

We enjoyed a paradoxical freedom when we were still too young for school.

We were at a party once and heard an idealistic young European call that awful charge glorious.

`` We have just returned from Roswell, N.M., where we were defeated, 34 to 9 '', the young man noted.

We were less than a quarter of a mile from the road, and we could trace its shape from the ribbon of powder smoke and dust that hung over it.

`` We were on our vacation in Canada '', Howard explained, in a muffled voice that must have been used to booming, `` and the news didn't catch up with us till we were nearly home.

We blushed and were flustered, and it turned out to be the fleetest brush of lips upon cheek.

We would have the means to seek out and destroy the enemy's force -- whether it were fixed or mobile.

We were in business!!

We were camping a few weeks ago on Cape Hatteras Campground in that land of pirates, seagulls and bluefish on North Carolina's famed Outer Banks.

We assume for this illustration that the size of the land plots is so great that the distance between dwellings is greater than the voice can carry and that most of the communication is between nearest neighbors only, as shown in Figure 2.

We have proved so able to solve technological problems that to contend we cannot realize a universal goal in the immediate future is to be extremely shortsighted, if nothing else.

We have so completely entered the child's fantasy that his illness and his death are the plausible and the necessary conclusion.

We had been walking quite briskly, for despite your being so small and me so tall, your stride in those days could easily match mine.

We attempted to conclude this, and did so by having the papers burned.

We did not dare speak to so exalted a being, but Norton aimed his camera and shot him, so to speak, on the rise, the split second between the halt and the turn.

We have developed an ingenious method of interlocking these so that you can make the major part of your house in your own workshop, panel by panel, according to plan.

We want to know when the Potlatches telephone exactly how many they are planning to bring, so that we won't end up with a splashing mob that looks like Coney Island in August.

We find too many sales and marketing executives so burdened with detail that they are short-changing planning.

`` We have tried to make both paths attractive, so that good men could find opportunity and satisfaction in either.

We have attempted to simplify the extensive task of analyzing onset ages and completion ages of each child -- more than 1700 values for the entire group -- by constructing figures for each of the 21 centers so that the data for all 34 boys and 34 of the girls will appear together for each growth center.

We shall find a polynomial Af such that Af is the identity on Af and is zero on the other Af, and so that Af, etc..
