Barrett and his men got up typical admen's charts which graphically analyzed the bitter truth. In the last 14 years of Los Angeles County's tremendous (47%) growth, the Republicans had managed to win only 4% of the new voters. In the last two years the gain was a microscopic one-fifth of 1%. The county GOP had only four permanent employes-"not as many as it takes to run a good neighborhood grocery." Even the Communist Party had more permanent office space...

Directly under the spot where the bomb had burst eleven months ago, a small vegetable garden flourished. The people were clearing paths through the desert of debris (it would take years to remove all) and building temporary camps of wood and rusty tin. In an effort to hide the naked desolation, the city administration issued free seedlings of wildflowers. The Reconstruction Deliberation Committee, with Rotarian zeal, dreamed of making a tourist center of Hiroshima...
