...Ever since the Purge failed and showed Democratic Senators that it is safe to have minds of their own, a paramount question has been: will non-New Deal Democrats attempt to unhorse Kentucky's plodding, obedient "Dear Alben" Barkley as Majority Leader? To do so would in effect amount to purging the Senate of Roosevelt leadership. Last week, in an otherwise unimportant newspaper spat between Montana's utterly independent Democrat Burton K. Wheeler and New Jersey's obedient Democrat William Smathers, came an answer. Declaring that there would be no attempted Barkley ouster, Mr. Wheeler said...
Franklin Roosevelt refers to the leaders of such movements as the "lunatic fringe." Their lunacy, if such it is, is ever among human beings, the urge of Something for Nothing.

Their offense has improved steadily from Brown through Cornell and Army, and their defense has fallen down only on the "break" variety of touchdowns...
...right, young man, we're quite capable of finding our way around this stadium alone. We played here before you were born. Those were the good old days. Back in the days of Horween and Haughton, ch, Ed? We used to smear them all, then. Why, if we had ever dropped three games in a row they'd have run us out of the Gold Coast. But no wonder with guys like us, Ed--we were men. We went through teams, not around and over them. Look at the kids here now. Don't they look young and small...
