This did not mean that the U.S. citizen had lost his inborn distrust of authority or his dark certainty that politicians would take his gold fillings unless he guarded them with his life.

"A junior prom is a prom that ain't old enough to be senior prom...
...reaches Washington, Mr. Dewey has promised to retain the large surplus and to reduce income taxes--at the same time. This would mean drastic budget outs. A large majority of the budget now provides for national defense, foreign aid, and veterans' benefits. Since a combination of these items will continue to take up an immense proportion of the budget, Mr. Dewey would have to apply the axe to other federal operations. In this "economizing," he undoubtedy would be under great pressure from the Old Guard of the Republican Party such men as Representatives Hallock, Taber, and Martin. Just as housing...
