...under the lee of Mayor Bernard Dickmann's St. Louis machine the Pendergasters in Kansas City could now mend their battered breeches. No one believed that Republican Candidate Manuel A. Davis would be strong enough to beat Truman in November. If Missourians cared, they had only themselves to blame. In St. Louis alone 169,000 registered voters had failed to go to the polls...
...effort might have kept its air lead over the Nazis. But butter was king, not guns. The League of Nations, said the Liberal and Labor Parties, made rearmament superfluous.

...Allies and Italy. Other young men wrote books that showed the same thing about the German conduct of the war. All agreed on war's vileness and undesirability. If Germans have learned how to fight a war and the Allies have not learned, MacLeish can hardly put the blame on our books. Or do his high-sounding words blame us because we never advocated a fascism to end fascism...
