Only the federal government can begin to bridge these gaps between what is needed and what is spent. But it cannot and will never be done if the people continue to permit their main enemy, the financial oligarchy, to dictate the course of government and to place warfare before welfare. (G. Green, ‘The Enemy Forgotten’, ch. VIII) — Только федеральное правительство в состоянии ликвидировать разрыв между необходимыми и фактическими расходами. Но это не может быть и никогда не будет осуществлено, если народ будет и впредь позволять своему главному врагу - финансовой олигархии - определять правительственный курс и ставить на первое место военные расходы, а не благосостояние народа.

If you want any details about me, you can read them in "Who's Who". I appear there, mainly because the editor thought my name would bridge the gap between Finberg and Finburgh rather neatly. (C. P. Snow, ‘Death Under Sail’, ch. 13) — Если вы хотите узнать подробности обо мне, загляните в справочник "Кто есть кто". я попал туда главным образом потому, что редактор должен был чем-то заполнить пустое место между Финбергом и Финбургом.
