Here was the mall in its heyday.

You cannot call it love, for at your age the heyday in the blood is tame, it's humble, and waits upon the judgement.

After visiting the forgotten train in Belgium, Romeijn told MailOnline Travel 'I really could feel how it must have been used in its heyday.

Gone, it seems, is the heyday of T shirts, toys, plastic flowers, tiles, hooks, springs, and the like. Today, the costs of manufacturing such items are lower in countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam than in Guangdong.

Sadly, it was at this time that the family dinner was put in a coma, if not actually killed the beginning of the heyday of value added food, which contained as many soy and corn products as could be crammed into it.

Today, mercantilism is typically dismissed as an archaic and blatantly erroneous set of ideas about economic policy. And, in their heyday, mercantilists certainly did defend some very odd notions, chief among which was the view that national policy ought to be guided by the accumulation of precious metals gold and silver.

The French government is no longer placing all its bets on big, state led projects, as it did in the 1970s heyday of massive investment in high speed trains and Airbus. President François Hollande has given Macron wide berth to try to implement desperately needed structural reforms of labor and product markets.

CAMBRIDGE Since 1976, the US dollar s role as an international currency has been slowly waning. International use of the dollar to hold foreign exchange reserves, denominate financial transactions, invoice trade, and as a vehicle in currency markets is below its level during the heyday of the Bretton Woods era, from 1945 to 1971.

In the heyday of American dominance, European governments profited doubly they were part of a powerful West and courted as a potential counterweight to US dominance by third countries. If they dissented from US positions, this did not seriously impair the West s strategic efficacy because American power was more than sufficient to compensate.

Today, the US is a more sober and realistic country than it was in the heyday of the early post Cold War period. But, in the aftermath of setbacks in regions where it intervened, and with heightened economic distress at home, the US finds itself uncertain about how to respond to changing global events.

During the heyday of Irish terrorism in the UK, successive British governments went out of their way not to concede to the IRA the notion that a war was being waged. War would have meant acceptance of the terrorists as legitimate enemies, in a sense as equals in a bloody contest for which there are accepted rules of engagement.

The heyday of US economic growth in the two decades after World War II was also a golden era for the middle class. The long boom of the 1990s, when the US enjoyed sustained full employment, was one of few periods in the last 40 years when incomes climbed at every quintile of the income distribution.

Even in its heyday, the Soviet Union was a one track superpower. With an economy about a quarter of the size of America s, it was able to maintain rough military parity by spending four times as much of its national income on defense as the US did to the detriment of the living standards of ordinary citizens.

Catholicism in its heyday combined a fairly decentralized administration, under the sway of stand alone bishops, with a uniform set of beliefs. One reason why it used to take roughly 13 years for a Jesuit to reach ordination was the long indoctrination in orthodoxy required for priests who, unlike regular clergy (whose training lasted half that time), would be mobile and beyond the direct control of bishops.

MOSCOW The atmospherics surrounding Xi Jinping s coming trip to Russia his first visit to a foreign country as China s new president remind me of a slogan from my early childhood in the late 1950 s Russia China, Friendship Forever. The irony is that, even in that slogan s heyday, Sino Russian relations were deteriorating fast, culminating in spasms of combat along the Amur River in Siberia less than a decade later.

Today, it is hard to believe that in the heyday of the welfare state, universities were both more elite and more publicly funded than they are today. Back then, it was assumed that the benefits of academic training accrued not only, or even primarily, to those who experienced it but also, and more importantly, to the rest of the population, whose lives were variously enriched by the application of the arts and sciences.
