while I lemon me Germans!,,1 This was probably immediately understood by Mr. Hitchcock who, though he has been in Hollywood since Rebecca (1940), was born in England (1899) and may well be able to trade Cockney rhyming slang-for such it was-with the best of them.Rhyming slang has received contributions from the West Coast of America and even the out-back of Australia (which gave us "Wee Georgie Wood"-he was an actor-for "good") but it is essentially a London product, the invention and pride of those born within the sound of Bow Bells. 2 From the Cockneys it has spread, in examples such as "elephants" (for "drunk," from "elephant's trunk"), "pimple" (for "scotch," from "pimple and blotch "), and "plates" (from "plates of meat" for "feet") to the trendy West End and entered the lingo of the private (the English of course call them public) schools. Today it is part of the fashionable speech of almost all classes of British society. A small part, but worth notice. "Oh Sairey, Sairey," wrote Dickens, "little do we know what lays afore us!"
Richard Brandt: We're going to be talking about analogical argument next week, which might interest you. I suppose you believe in analogical inference. Hilary Putnam: Believe in analogy? Hell, I've seen it done. 1 2 Reprinted in Anthony Flew, ed., Logic and Language (first and second series; Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1965).
She grew up on a farm in the area known as The Ridge, between Johnston and Trenton (which had one of the few banks around that did not collapse during The Depression). In The Depression, however, John Bryant lost his farm of about 1000 acres because he could not pay a debt of $100 to a neighbor, a great blow to a proud man who boasted the very first automobile in the county.-In spite of her problem arm,• Professor Bryant's youngest niece has written, •Margaret Bryant learned to drive the car as a young child and also to swim and ride a bicycle,• but she was so nearsighted she had to quit the bicycle after running into people on the farm: she even hit the side of the house because she didn1 see it. She learned to play the piano (to exercise her arm) and always played at family gatherings and reunions. But most of all from her earliest years -from the time she was •Maggie Mae,• before she changed her forenames legally to Margaret M. -•she was busy correcting everybody's English,• reports niece Mrs. Marian Jeter Woolsey. -Cousins who came to her funeral told tales of these occurrences,• remembering her childhood.Her interest in language took her through honors at Winthrop College (1921), a master's degree (1925) and a doctorate (1931) at Columbia University and brought her many honors, among them honorary degrees from Winthrop College (SC), Cedar Crest College (PA), Francis Marion College (SC), and Northern Michigan University. She lectured at major universities in Europe, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, in China (from which she once dramatically escaped, on the last boat out as war erupted), and in Japan, where her English grammar became a Japanese textbook and she herself a •cover girl• on an intellectual magazine, photographed by Bachrach. When her autobiography was published, it was published in Japan.
The use of coercive measures including economic sanctions has been favoured by certain, predominantly Western, states as an alternative to the use of armed force, asserting pressure to effect change at arm's length via an apparently non-lethal use of force. Yet the assumption that the use of economic sanctions presents 'non-lethal' and 'non-destructive' solutions is a misapprehension. 1 For the target state, the impact of multilateral and unilateral coercive measures (UCMs) on its humanitarian capacity can be long-term and devastating, and can be the cause, directly and indirectly, of the collateral damage of gross human rights and humanitarian violations.Concerns about the humanitarian implications of comprehensive sanctions (both multilateral and unilateral) have been well rehearsed, for example, in the wake of the consequences suffered by the general population of Iraq and Haiti in the 1990s. 2 The public and political outcry that followed prompted a move by the Security Council away from comprehensive measures to those designed to be 'smart' by targeting named individuals, groups, governments and organisations. 3 Yet, somewhat ironically, compared to comprehensive measures, the humanitarian impact of smart sanctions has been said to be more difficult for the target state to circumvent because they are more difficult to 'cheat'. 4
A number of errors appear in current California placenames, in those given by both Spanish and English speakers. Reasons for the errors are offered, as well as suggestions for their correction. An extensive list of affected names is presented, along with a survey of decisions on names made by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names over the last century. The article is supplemented by an extensive bibliography of California placenames. Spanish placenames are part of the heritage of California and residents may wish to consider protecting that heritage by correcting and, restoring placenames derived from the Spanish and Mexican history of the area.
