4、nois. In 1846, he was elected to Congress.

12、 they know best fbr the simple reason that they have been around a bit longe匚 They dont like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened.

14、 all that is important in life?Traditionally, the young have turned to their elders for guidance. Today, the situation might be reversed.

20、 a standstill.Large modem cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them.
