...views, and, on the side, running her family of three children. Minnesotans liked his earnestness and in 1942 returned him to the Senate for another six years. Joe became a vociferous internationalist. In March 1943 he collaborated on the famed B2H2 resolution (with Ohio's Harold Burton, New Mexico's Carl Hatch and Alabama's Lister Hill) -the most specific statement of U.S. internationalism which had come out of Congress up to that time...

He even suggested to the board that McCall's sell Burton's stockpile of popular fiction to their bigger rivals, Ladies Home Journal and Woman's Home Companion. He wanted to start from scratch with new, "realistic" writers. For such heresies he was fired at least six times during the first year (he quit nearly as often), was always rehired after a few days or weeks because, he says, "there...
