"I didn't want any misunderstanding." Reagan opened the conference, then flew on to other business before Romney arrived, fresh from his tour of ghettos in the Mid west. Finally, the noncandidates and their wives arranged to get together for a "nonpolitical" lunch at the Reagans' home in Pacific Palisades...

Dewey claimed that Morgenthau's plan had given Hitler as much of a boost as "ten fresh German divisions." Roosevelt, who at one point had mused that it might be good to return Germany to the homespun-wool economy of Dutchess County in 1810, backed warily away from both the plan and its author.
