Brother, other thaw?
Observed this morning: Brotherhood senators huddling with Otherhood senators. You had opposing lightning rods Jack Critcher and Percy Malone chatting with seeming civility, without reddened faces or clinched fists. You had Brother Tracy Steele talking with Other Jim Argue. So, I asked Critcher, president pro tempore, if there was a thaw. "There'd have to have been an iceberg to be a thaw," he said. Getting nowhere that way, I asked Critcher if he believed an amicable disposition of General Improvement Fund money would be achieved this session. "I do," he said.
