...with the help of the blundering Work, the undercover Mann, the flaming Willebrandt, the thundering Borah, the uprighteous Hughes. With upturned eyes he ignored the tempestuous issue of Religion breaking at his feet. On Prohibition he said nothing. He preached a gospel of "American individualism," promised a "job for every man," grew rhapsodic over "the home," vowed that only his election could perpetuate Republican prosperity. One might have thought he was running against thin air for all the notice he took of the energetic, loud-speaking, issue-raising, far-traveling Brown Derby.

...Pythagoras to Ralph Waldo Emerson, only American figured), a row of religious leaders (Moses to David Livingstone. African missionary, explorer). High on the porch's tympanum surrounded by Mark's lion, Matthew's angel, John's eagle, Luke's ox is Christ. Adjoining those Gospel writers is the idea of Matthew XXIII, 57: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem . . . how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would...
