     ♦ "Евреев бьют"... "Инвалиды пятого пункта", острили порой студенты отделения русской литературы. Не зло острили, даже сочувственно (Свирский 1). "They're beating the Jews."... "Victims of Point Five." The students of the Russian literature department sometimes wisecracked. They weren't malicious jokes - more often sympathetic (1a).
