...Domestic policy: Conservative Republicans and Southern Democrats blocked most Administration proposals. The Republican 80th Congress, castigated by Truman, had a direction in domestic policy; the 82nd had no direction. The Fair Dealers are a minority; the majority, made up of loose-knit groups without common aim or discipline, did not and could not accept responsibility for developing a program. The frustration and division of Congress was such that it made no progress on such measures as the St. Lawrence seaway, statehood for Alaska and Hawaii, reapportionment and redistricting of congressional districts...
Eighteen independents are running. They have never been able to combine into a well-knit group but, if they should, might easily carry the election. On an individual basis, each has consistently received a larger vote than any one CCA candidate. Spencer believes that they will spread the vote by campaigning independently of one another and so defeat themselves.

The Allied troops in Europe made up a tight-knit team under Supreme Commander Eisenhower, whose quarterbacking story set the pattern for Crusade in Europe. In the Pacific war, the Marine, Navy, Army and Air outfits fought under various separate and shifting commands that sometimes passed the ball to each other, more often starred individually in sallies against the enemy. Even today, MOT's research staff often has to dig long and well to resolve hard-held disagreement over the strategy...
