* - Torque, moment or moment of force ...is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum, or pivot.

ideamongers and so forth. Van on the stage was performing organically what his
figures of speech were to perform later in life — acrobatic wonders that had
never been expected from them and which frightened
children."
