...articles, the predicament of the cited middle-income families is difficult to understand. Our market basket is certainly much more expensive than the U.S. housewife's, but in Europe no $25,000-income family would think it had to do without its annual vacation or renewing its dining-room chairs, and an $8,600-income family would certainly not be looked upon as impoverished...
...talks with Chavez were held in the back room of a small house near union headquarters in Delano. All interviews were strictly limited to 45 minutes (Chavez spends the rest of every hour exercising his disabled back), and the union leader insisted on talking only about la causa, never about himself.

To Pegler, New York Mayor Fiorello La Guardia was "little padrone of the Bolsheviki," Walter Winchell a "gents-room journalist," and Henry A. Wallace a "slobbering snerd." His most abiding hatred was for the Roosevelts. Berating F.D.R. and his family in column after column, he termed the President a "feebleminded fiihrer" and found it "regrettable that Giuseppe Zangara hit the wrong man when he shot at Roosevelt in Miami." He waged...
