Basis of Civilization. As the years passed, the Larsons found themselves more & more alone in their battle. Their Catholic friends began to drop them, and some of their Protestant friends began to resent the trouble they seemed to be causing.

From a court martial...
...VOTE ON CONANT; 20,000 LETTERS OPPOSE HIM. "It is expected the testimony (before the Foreign Relations Committee) will provide new ammunition for the behind the scenes bloc of Senators who are apposing the Conant appointment tooth and nail." The 20,000 letters were an "estimate" of the ever-resent "informed source...
