This is no place to revive the entire 'protection vs. free trade' argument. It is sufficient to point to the obvious, recognized even by Time magazine--that if the world is to achieve its reconstruction as quickly and painlessly as possible, the United States must, in 1947, offer foreign goods at least a reasonably attractive market...
...editorial in nature and is used to better describe to readers who may not be thoroughly familiar with the sides in the controversy just what group is being represented by the speaker. This is a perfectly legitimate journalistic device. "At least in Hashem's opinion" is included for the obvious purpose of preventing a statement, printed as an indirect quotation, from being accepted unconditionally as fact, when, to the best knowledge of the reporter or news editor concerned, the "fact" is highly controversial, to say the least.

...following the difficulties encountered by the American Military government in its program of denazification, "Temper the Wind" seeks to uncover the selfish and villaninous forces at work in Germany.

In 1944 Taft had returned the favor, and Bricker had won the vice...
...come? The obvious answer was that Big Steel's offer was too good to resist. Stockholders would cash in on Consolidated's lush wartime operations, not have to risk peacetime competition. Big Steel would get a thriving company (with a $35 million backlog) and a fabricator for the vast production of its Geneva plant. Steelmen gossiped that Big Steel, impressed by the way Roach had pulled Consolidated off the rocks, intended to get him too. But Roach was mum about that...
