We have heard a great deal about “balanced farming” but the “bal- ance” which every farmer is looking for is that between profit and loss and he wants it to be on the right side of the ledger. All other brands of balance are merely a means to an , end.

They were taken to an expert. “Hmm, these shoes cost at least $40 @ pair. Very special shoes of a danc- er,” said the shoeman. And what dancer, the detectives asked, might be missing. Which is how they found out what had happened to dancing Jack Thompson. Good hoofer that he was, he couldn't make a final gesture without his $40 shoes.
