But sheep lack the gravitas of cattle, and "today, the cows carry out a similar function in a rather more decorous manner," the same history concludes.

By its very existence, their effort to bridge the "divides that exist in Washington, DC, today" doubles down on the conviction that, for all the upheaval in American culture and politics, voters are simply thirsting for a more decorous status quo.

We heard the touching stories of bravery and patriotism; we heard Trump boast of his successes -- keeping the bragging to a more decorous level than his usual -- and make some calls for national unity, not usually heard from the current White House.

"Despite constant counsel from GOP advisors and insiders to adopt a more decorous public persona, Trump continues to lash out at critics, to insist complex problems can be solved with little effort and to depict an America that's been 'ripped off by every single country in the world,' as he said in this week's debate," they said, referencing Monday's contest at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. "Terrible leaders can knock nations off course," the editors added.

A particularly racist example, Sawney in the Bog House, shows a stereotypical Scots Highlander using a communal bench toilet by sticking one of his legs down each of the holes. This was originally published in London in June 1745,British Museum example just over a month before "Bonnie Prince Charlie" landed in Scotland to begin the Jacobite rising of 1745. In this version Sawney's excreta emerge from below his kilt and flow across the bench. The idea was revived in a different and slightly more decorous version of 1779, which is attributed to the young James Gillray.

Critic Roger Ebert called her work in the film "quite a performance; Love proves she is not a rock star pretending to act, but a true actress." She won several other awards from various film critic associations for the film. During this time, Love maintained what the media noted as a more decorous public image, and she appeared in ad campaigns for Versace and in a Vogue Italia spread. Following the release of The People vs. Larry Flynt, she dated her co-star Edward Norton, with whom she remained until 1999. In late 1997, Hole released a compilation album and extended play, both of which featured previously-recorded material.

Frontispiece to A Solemne Joviall Disputation, 1617 He was the author of many works of very unequal merit, of which the best known is Drunken Barnaby's Four Journeys, which records his pilgrimages through England in rhymed Latin (said by Southey to be the best of modern times), and doggerel English verse. The English Gentleman (1631) and English Gentlewoman are in a much more decorous strain. Other works are The Golden Fleece (1611) (poems), The Poet's Willow, A Strappado for the Devil (a satire), and Art Asleepe, Husband? His 1613 book The Yong Mans Gleanings contains the first known use of the word "computer". An extract from both Drunken Barnaby and his “epitaph to Frances, (his wife)” appears in The Bishoprick Garland by (Sir) Cuthbert Sharp.

The prayers accompanying the administration of the other sacraments seem to have become more fixed and to have lengthened since the time of Tertullian. For the more decorous and convenient administration of the Sacrament of Baptism, large adorned baptisteries were erected, in which the ceremony was carried out with great solemnity. The African Church seems to have followed practically the same ritual as the Roman Church during the catechumenate, which lasted for the forty days preceding Easter. St. Augustine, for instance, speaks of teaching the catechumens the Apostles' Creed and the Lord's Prayer (Our Father), and of the rites for the Vigil of Easter, as if they were in accord with those in use at Rome; but there appears to be only one unction with sacred oil, that after baptism, and the kiss of peace after baptism is still given as in the days of St. Cyprian.

43 Moreover, opera is enjoyed specifically because of its superficial sensationalism. In a critique which lies at the heart of much of his writings at this period and thereafter, (and which is a clear dig at composers such as Giacomo Meyerbeer), Wagner complains: > There are even many of our most popular artists who do not in the least > conceal the fact, that they have no other ambition than to satisfy this > shallow audience. They are wise in their generation; for when the prince > leaves a heavy dinner, the banker a fatiguing financial operation, the > working man a weary day of toil, and go to the theatre: they ask for rest, > distraction, and amusement, and are in no mood for renewed effort and fresh > expenditure of force. This argument is so convincing, that we can only reply > by saying: it would be more decorous to employ for this purpose any other > thing in the wide world, but not the body and soul of Art.
