Custer's dead and around the bloody guidon of the immortal Seventh Cavalry lie 212 officers of the main. Sioux and Cheyenne are on... the war path.

A teacher who had made the effort to understand his pupil's individual needs and character could probably dispense with it: "I will content myself with saying that children are helpless and easily victimized, and that therefore no one should be given unlimited power over them."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
