"Many great legal scholars" are the sons/daughters of "a lot of people are saying".

Is this?

'Many legal scholars' is at least as reputable a source as 'a lot of people are saying'.

Reminds me of Python's:
"Minister,... in your plan, 'A Better Britain For Us', you claimed that you would build 88,000 million, billion houses a year in the Greater London area alone. In fact, you've built only three in the last fifteen years..."

Almost makes you feel sorry for Nixon.

He came to power at a time when people—members of his own party—gave a damn about something other than their own careers.

Superb film, but a difficult watch because it has the weight of myth.
A chronicle of deaths foretold.
Everything in it moves towards this inevitable turn.

I used to see Pearson on 'Late Review' on BBC2, and knowing nothing else about her, thought her a sweet lady.
WTF happened to her?

Must look out for this one.

Perfect film.

Everyone in—behind it—is top-notch.

But maybe Clifton Webb is just a tad topper?
