Case 1:

 All the leaves are
brown and the sky is
gray.  I've been for
a walk on a winter's
 day.  I'd be safe
and warm if I was in
  L.A.  California
 Dreamin' on such a
    winter day.

Case 4:

"SHORTAGES ARE REVERSED WITH A BANG!"--so headlines a prominent journal,
... and a "new look" is heralded for the Employment Market of 1958.  Of
course, the headline overstates the case, just as in recent years we've
 seen so many headlines to the other extreme about "jobs chasing men."
 There are still shortages, still plenty of opportunities for all--but
      with one very important proviso.  Ever since the outbreak of
opportunities for all--but with one very important proviso.  Ever since
 the outbreak of the Korean War, manpower shortages have been so great
    that college degrees have been literal tickets to jobs.  Now the
quantitative standard is definitely relaxed.  Quality stands forth, for
     Technical and non-Technical alike, as the key to satisfactory
                              employment.
