Oooohhhh, Hab, you almost scored a double with Jane Austin! Had there been a Jane Auster... Auster was the name of the British-built Taylorcraft aeroplanes. Ah, but I'm getting long-winded.

Gotta take what you're given. (For those without kids in the 1980s, or if it wasn't broadcast in your territory, or you were simply too mature to bother watching such stuff - "Steve Austin," played by Lee Majors, was "The Six-Million-Dollar Man" in the TV series of that name. Badly hurt in a plane crash, he had an eye and an arm and both legs replaced by "bionic" prostheses of more-than-human capacity.)
Ahh, you DID do a double, but I didn't get it! Duuhhhh...
Here in Portland the police chief has stepped down pending an investigation of abuse of power, and a woman officer is now acting chief. Portland is sometimes called "The Rose City" because of its many rose gardens. Soooo, the acting chief's assessment of the situation is entitled, "An Assessment of the scope of improper use of official power in Portland, Oregon," by Rosie Sizer.
Actually, all four are doubles, if you look closely. Well, maybe if you look loosely, with wobbly spelling, or translation, or both...(One's actually a triple.)
