As to the thirty-six Senators who placed themselves on record against the principle of a World Court, I am inclined to think that ...if they ever get to Heaven they will be doing a great deal of apologizing for a very long time--that is if God is against war--and I think He is.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Men have a low threshold for distraction. They are delicate. They are made nervous by having to do more than one thing at a time. ...They feel frazzled and angry if they have to answer three phone calls, and have a hard time settling back to work after the trauma. Women, on the other hand, develop the skill of doing many things at once.
