...sensible State of Ohio such harebrained schemes as California's Ham & Eggs, such a treasury-busting law as Colorado's. Safe & sound sat Ohio full of colleges and memories of Presidents. But last week, in spite of its stout constitution and sound heredity, Ohio was scared stiff that it might be going crazy. What scared Ohio was not only a bogey called the Bigelow Plan.
