in our world, one in which there is in dire need of principled leaders.
What are the Grand Expectations of Users of this Book?

appreciation of the English language that grows keener and keener as they mature. And ultimately,
it is hope that this book will help students in some small measure to gain the intestinal fortitude
to help right our floundering ship of state.
