...biggest part, sent a Republican to Washington even in the Roosevelt landslide of 1932. But he won by only 78 votes. Factory workers who poured into Waterbury (pop. 99,314) might show an unmistakable preference for the Democrats; city folk from Manhattan-advertising men, editors, surrealist painters, proletarian novelists, foreign correspondents, returned expatriates-might turn the old Republican farms into weekend places. The farmers and their small-town allies-the lawyers, hardware dealers, bankers-scrutinized the newcomers carefully and tried to keep right on running things. But the Democrats beat them in 1934, 1936, 1938, 1940-until the big political...
...then Ambassador to Belgium) and his wife home from Antwerp. Before that, when Mr. Davies was Ambassador to Russia, the yacht was moored in Leningrad's harbor. Before he took the Sea Cloud to Communist Russia, Mr. Davies was somewhat fearful that such capitalist swank might trouble the proletarian waters. He said as much to Russian Foreign Minister Molotov.

Everyone hates everyone else; no one, except the everpresent proletarian butler, ever says anything pleasant to anyone else; and more highballs are downed per foot of film than in any movie turned out since Schenley's stopped producing propaganda flickers. Miss Dunne's ultimately successful attempt to get rid of her "unfinished business," which in this case is her still unrequited love...
Publisher Patterson knew that he too was risking the verdict of history. The multimillionaire publisher of the biggest U.S. proletarian newspaper had asked a loaded question, had drawn a loaded answer. There is a difference between wanting to go to war and being willing to go to war-no sensible citizen in any country wants to go to war at any time-which the question dodged. There is a further difference between being willing to go to war "to help Britain" and to save the U.S. from grave danger. Careless questions certainly could not probe the present complex U.S. state...
