...clock. It stood the test of daylight. It pleased both the FCC and the Office of Censorship. It delighted Roos Bros, who, in a trial poll on the propriety of the program, got 97% approval. The poll's heavy mailbag indicated that the program would collect a sizable audience...
...piecework system. In the past, faster work often meant that the company would cut the payrate per piece. Thus, to make certain they do not work harder for less money, workers in many departments set their own quotas. This has been brought to such scientific control that many pieceworkers collect the same amount in their paychecks-down to the last cent.

Most of this money will indeed go for the re-election of Franklin Roosevelt, for P.A.C.'s main strength will be thrown into the Fourth Term effort...
