...ardent small-boat sailor. Franklin Roosevelt naturally conceives of the ship of State as a small yacht, steered by a hand tiller which, to keep the boat on a straight course, the skipper must shift as the wind changes. Said the President: A year ago when inflation threatened, the helm was shifted far to starboard. Last autumn, warned of a threatened deflation, the Administration put it hard to port.

The Nassan mermen were rather bitter about the ruling, for Van de Weghe, is notorious for touching as much as two feet below the surface, a practice which makes it very difficult for the judge on turns to see what's going...
