...some old cronies. In 1936 he helped found the cryptofascist Union Party, with Gerald L. K. Smith, the pitchman of Huey Long's Share the Wealth program (and later a founder of the America First Party and a convicted subversive in World War II), and Father Charles E. Coughlin, priest-leader of the notorious "social justice" movement. Their presidential candidate, North Dakota's Representative William Lemke, polled a mere 891,000 out of 44,000,000 votes. Later, for refusing to answer a congressional committee, Townsend was sentenced to 30 days in jail for contempt. But Franklin Roosevelt...

Flanagan's off-again-on-again heart stubbornly refused to resume its normal beat, though five doctors massaged it in relays for three hours. Adrenaline and other heart stimulators failed.

These are the people whom Schlesinger brings back from the sidelines of history into the prominence they deserve. And above them...
...became Detroit's first archbishop. Sharp, blunt-spoken Archbishop Mooney quickly established himself as a friend of labor and an opponent of Father Coughlin, the rabble-rousing radio priest, whom he muzzled in short order. Between 1935 and 1945, he served several terms as board chairman of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, the potent policy-forming association of bishops that acts as the primary voice of the church in the U.S. No one was surprised when Pope Pius XII gave Archbishop Mooney a red hat at the 1946 consistory.
