So here are the directions:

Open to page 123
Scroll down to the 5th sentence.

Then tag 3 people.

Here goes....

The appellant insists that Commander Travis's abandonment of the Hospital's wonted policy of preferring in-house candidates itself gives rise to an irresistible inference of racial animus. The appellant weaves a complicated tapestry with the threads of this argument, hinting that the policy often operated in the past to exclude minority candidates from elevation, thus making the Hospital's disregard of it in a case where that policy would redound to the advantage of a minority candidate all hte more cruel. In her view, this abrupt departure from past practice can only be explained on the basis of racial bias.

That is from the page-turner The Law of Employment Discrimination, by Joel Wm. Friedman and George M. Strickler, Jr.

Hey, you said the book closest to me! I couldn't help it.

Now I tag.....
Lois, SingWithMe123, and Southern Girl, but anyone else who sees this is welcome to play as well.
