...along with him. Fred H. Vahlsing, wholesale fruit-&-vegetable jobber, testified that when he refused to sign a union contract in 1945, Papa had forced him to shut up shop. Out-of-town members of Papa's union had to pay his local an "unloading fee" of from $2.50 to $14.28 on any truck they drove into New York. One Congressman estimated that these fees added $21,600 daily to Papa's coffers...
...Elenas. Countess Rosie Waldeck once said: "Any $50-a-week American publicity man could have saved Lupescu all along." Carol hired a considerably more expensive publicity man (Russell Birdwell; fee: $35,000) to get them admitted to the U.S., but he failed.

Perhaps those who must pay their "protection" fee without expecting ever to benefit by a single nickel's worth of medical services would feel less defrauded if they could know that their contribution helped guarantee every Harvard student the best and most...
President Truman's courage in opposing again a Congress plainly eager to demonstrate his ineffectualness is therefore laudable. The effect of his veto is likely to be the elimination of the import-fee amendment, and the final shifting of the burden to the Treasury. This act of sweeping the business out of public sight under the rug would obviously be no final answer to the wool wrangle. It would at least, though, spare America the irony of talking world stability up big at Geneva, while at the same time giving it a kick in the stomach long-distance from Washington...
