...getting was not a matter of protest vote alone. For in Clements, as ineffective a stump speaker as oratory-loving Kentucky ever produced, Chandler was up against one of the shrewdest organizers in all U.S. politics. Clements, said one Kentuckian, has "made a career out of reaching around incumbent organizations and making his own wheels do the better turning." As majority leader of the state senate in 1944, he organized legislators and other politicians in the Second Congressional District so effectively that when he announced for the House, the incumbent simply retired. As a Congressman, Clements laid the groundwork...
...Communist policy of playing footie with former enemies is not getting by without a protest from the grudge boys in the lower party echelons.

And to cap it all, at a time when only 34 per cent of the American people are receiving adequate dental care, Conant cut Harvard's yearly dentist output from...
Meanwhile Conant determined to reorganize dental education at Harvard. Conant formed a committee chaired by Dean Burwell of the Medical School and told it to bring its recommendations to the Medical Faculty. This immediately drew protest from dentists, who didn't want to be "railroaded by their big brother" and who forgot that the Dental and Medical Faculties had been combined under the Dean of the Medical Faculty...
