We have never limited the output of a contributor; the union will. No
matter how excellent the idea, no matter how inspired the contrib may
be to amplify it, he will not be permitted to do more than a certain

Five years ago a neighbor told us that he had his clothes turned after a
season or two of wear, but we neglected to ask him how he shifted the
buttonholes to the proper side. Left-handed buttoning would be rather
awkward, especially if one were in a hurry.
