...have been living in an automobile, a frigidaire, a radio era and have been sitting in an atmosphere of a Corona-Corona. . . . Let's not fool ourselves. . . . We can't have any permanent prosperity when there's a load of debt around our necks...
...purposes of his Civilian Conservation Corps, his Tennessee Valley Plan, his mortgage and farm relief bills, his railroad legislation (see p. 12). For the baffled businessman who wondered whither he was being led, it was a look into the future.

Judge Lowell and the exponents of open-eyed justice seem to forget, like the Republicans of the Reconstruction Era, that race feeling by no means applies to whites alone. On this issue, no compromise is possible. Mixed juries will result in innumerable disagreements regardless of the defendant's guilt or race; all the terrorism which has blighted the tradition of the South must recur with undiminished zeal. An even greater degree...
