...apparent that something akin to the corn-hog ratio extends through our whole economic life, and that when we talk prices we are really talking exchange values. Thus, although a ton of steel is selling at its highest peacetime price in two decades, it is exchanging for the smallest quantity of goods and services...
Eatin' on the Hog. In the years of political wars the Organization had grown stronger and resistance had diminished. Critics of the boss were never free of the fear that they might find themselves in court-before a Crump judge. There was always the chance of being beaned with a beer bottle at a nightclub, of getting beaten up in a mysterious street fight or simply being slugged by Memphis police, as were two overenthusiastic C.I.O. organizers in 1937.

(Though Fitz is in the forefront of U.S. political cartoonists, he is leagues behind the London Evening Standard's pixyish little New Zealander, David Low.) Fitz poured out his feelings about Prohibition (he likes liquor as much as he likes crap games) with...
