...Harold Berman, Story Professor of Law, attended the lunch and said the clergymen were all obviously "devout believers...
...undoubtedly have a difficult Jewish problem, but why is it necessary to handle it so unreasonably." Cole refrains from personally expressing his views on the Des Moines speech, and from placing a value judgment on Lindbergh's obvious anti-Semitism. Instead he charges that government officials, like Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes, who attacked Lindbergh for his isolationism, used tactics, such as guilt by association, identical to those of Senator Joseph R. McCarthy in the early 1950's.

The wooden leg has replaced the clubfoot of Byron's dashing early years, which the poet-King lost, along with all vestiges of poetic vision, while fighting ineptly against the Turks near Lepanto...
