You must know, then, that the above-named gentleman whenever he was at leisure (which was mostly all the year round) gave himself up to reading books of chivalry with such ardourand avidity that he almost entirely neglected the pursuit of his field-sports,and even the management of his property;and to such a pitch did his eagerness and infatuation go that he sold many an acre of tillageland to buy books of chivalry to read,and brought home as many of them as he could get. 2025 June 7, Jeanne Sahadi, “El DOGE acaba de recibir luz verde para acceder a tus datos del Seguro Social. ¿Qué significa?”, inCNN en Español [6] Mientras que un tribunal federal inferior había bloqueado los esfuerzos del DOGE para acceder a dichos datos —que argumentó que necesita para reducir el despilfarro, el fraudey el abuso— la Corte Suprema levantó esa orden el viernes, permitiendo al DOGE acceder a los datos por ahora.
