...C.I.O. Council President Norman Bully roared in rage: "It is the straw that breaks the camel's back! Anybody who can compare the unions with the Nazis is not a friend of labor." Hayworth easily won the primary, but Big Labor's billboards in the Sixth District list all major Democratic candidates except Hayworth...
...Chamberlain's visitors sign a register in the trailer's reception room, and thereby automatically put themselves on the mailing list for Chamberlain's congressional newsletter.

The result -in addition to excellent teaching - is that while professors respected...
