Miltons were, on the whole, the most enthusiastic poet followers. A flick through the London telephone directory would yield about four thousand John Miltons, two thousand William Blakes, a thousand or so Samuel Colleridges, five hundred Percy Shelleys, the same of Wordsworth and Keats, and a handful of Drydens. Such mass name-changing could have problems in law enforcement. Following an incident in a pub where the assailant, victim, witness, landlord, arresting officer and judge had all been called Alfred Tennyson, a law had been passed compelling each namesake to carry a registration number tattooed behind the ear. It hadn't been well received--few really practical law-enforcement measures ever are. ↗

Cops are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you will get. 1) You may get the young rookie that thinks the more tickets/arrests they make will change the world 2) The seasoned level headed veteran that knows everyone makes mistakes 3) Somewhere in between the two A good policeman needs to be a jack of all trades. Being a patrolman is mostly on the job site and life experiences, you need lots of common since and a little book smarts. ↗

I considered myself engaged in a war from Day One. And my objective was to force the federal government - the Kennedy administration at that time - into a position where they would have to use the United States military force to enforce my rights as a citizen. ↗

I have the utmost respect for those who have come to this country legally and have contributed to the great melting pot that is America today. But those who have crossed our borders illegally have broken the law and the law ought to be enforced. ↗

We intend to keep the lines of communication open with the Defense Department so we can help our border law enforcement agencies navigate the equipment application process. ↗
