...Slowly it became apparent that Comrade Litvinoff had not meant quite what Franklin Roosevelt thought he had in closing their recognition deal. Russia, it seemed, did not propose to pay off old debts after all, proposed to buy U. S. goods only if the U. S. gave her unlimited credit and a long, long time to pay. Plans for the million-dollar Embassy were abandoned, the idle Embassy staff was pared to the bone. Climax came last summer when President Roosevelt was forced to transmit through Ambassador Bullitt a sharp note charging the Russian Government with flagrant violation...

Belinda made her first blunder as an apprentice...
...ordinary, everyday greetings to suggest the breezy friendliness of his hero: Where you been so long? What good wind blew you in? These themes are interspaced with examples of native folklore that range from Ford jokes to the classic rural replies to smart city salesmen, from variations on "No Credit" signs to examples of the tall tales of Paul Bunyan and Mike Fink. The first sections of The People, Yes deal with the poetry and sardonic humor of the people: The old-timer on the desert was gray and grizzled with ever seeing the sun: "For myself...
