...naturalized immigrants scorned each later wave of "foreigners," notably Roman Catholics, victims of outrageous persecution by the nativist Know-Nothings of the 1850s.

CNCV canvassers found that on Saturday, when the Vet literature began to circulate, the Italians became less prone to long discussions about whether an anti-war vote would encourage...
...Francisco Mime Troupe is one of the world's great things. It brings joy and hysterics to all who behold it. Not just those whose narrow preconceptions drive them into unflinching hatred for all authority; not just those who make love with a red flag under the mattress. The Mime Troupe's not just for May 2nd, but for all seasons...
