...Williams has a grudge that goes even deeper than his resentment against those who formerly scoffed at his ideas. It might be described as a hatred for economic democracy in action. There are whole pages from this book that might have been taken from Coughlin's "Social Justice." This goes beyond mere appeasement; it is reaction blending naturally into fascism. It flares clearly, as in the attacks on Roosevelt, the Spanish Loyalists, and the French Popular Front; or it emerges slyly from between the lines in praise for the Fascists that seems almost unconscious.

Plumber Wright wanted a girl named Wallie ("Babe") Coughlin to inherit his legacy. But all he knew about her was that he had seen her in 1918 at the age of five, toddling around the stage of a burlesque house in Fort Wayne, Ind. To find her, ads were run in Variety and Billboard.

...trash to wake us up to the desirability of living in a democracy. These songs are a downright insult to whatever intelligence and taste you or I may have. As music they're worthless, and as far as patriotism is concerned, I've heard more convincing stuff from Father Coughlin's radio sermons. So the next time one of us is tempted to throw away a nickel to hear God Bless America on a juke box, let's just remember the British merchantman that was torpedoed in the North Atlantic last summer. She went down pretty fast, but the crew...
