Lessening Quotations

Claude Bernard The issue is whether the ultimate civil authority of the United States can tolerate actions in contempt of constitutional lines of authority.

Harold Russell In some units it may suppress the motor discharge altogether, in some it may merely slow the motor discharge thus lessening the wave frequency of the contraction and so the tension.
