...talking about Eisenhower racketeers, ever took to clean up the dirty dealings in his own Administration. So bad was the Truman Administration's record that the Democratic Party's 1952 nominee, Adlai Ewing Stevenson of Illinois, tacitly acknowledged, in the famous letter that Harry Truman never has forgiven, that he would clear out "the mess in Washington." The Adlai Stevenson of 1956 must have suffered a considerable lapse in memory when he opened up his Pandora's box on the corruption issue...
...Records. Time was when Stan would have been forgiven his rare errors. Just the week before, a lusty double had bought him the National League record for extra-base hits (1,072). long held by the Giants' Mel Ott.

They remembered the huge levies collected at gunpoint to swell his coffers. Feeling that the returned Sultan had let the old pasha off far too easily, they formed an underground...
...whispering waste and despair. Love has imposed a mighty toll upon their lives, but in the end it binds them together, wracked by pity and fear. Young Edmund's hopeless citation of Nietzsche, "God is dead: of His pity for man hath God died," is forgotten. O'Neill has forgiven the Tyrones as we must forgive all mankind...
