...perennial dark horse who, because of his enmity to King, can never be counted on to take the leading role in the Canadian political picture, but who, because he is a crowd-pleaser, can never be relegated to the background. They also know him as the most rabid enemy that the C.I.O. has in Canada...
...press is concerned, this charge is easily disproved. The two big newspaper-chain owners are William Randolph Hearst and Roy Wilson Howard, gentiles both. Biggest newspaper in New York is rabid Isolationist Joseph M. Patterson's Daily News. Biggest newspaper outside of New York is the Chicago Tribune, owned by Colonel Robert R. McCormick. In New York City itself, where nearly one third of all U.S. Jews live, the three morning papers are controlled by gentiles; one by Jews (the New York Times, world-famed for impartiality); and four evening papers are controlled by gentiles; one by Jews...
Today when George VI visits bombed sections of London and other cities, Herbert Morrison is usually at his side. Morrison, "once a rabid socialist" is now Home Secretary and Minister of Home Security.

So the Nazis "plugged" a different theory-a theory of creation, according to which man developed suddenly during some splendid Wagnerian cataclysm which thrust lower organisms into a new environment where only those creatures survived who modified themselves through sheer force of will power...
This sort of thing is fine if you're writing for the College Humor Swing Fraternity, and thus have a wide audience of rabid rugcutters from the jukebox campuses. It is also fine if you have an inclination for it, which no Crimson columnist has had yet. The commercial type of swing just isn't worth a weekly spiel from anyone's hardworking typewriter. Such a column would be only a series of publicity releases for a group which certainly doesn't need any more attention called to it. Their music has no other function than to sell itself...
