There were some valid reasons for the more solid G.O.P. opposition this year. The program, which includes loans to redevelop both industrial and rural areas, has at times been poorly administered. Wisconsin Republican John Byrnes cited, for example, a loan to build a tissue-paper manufacturing plant in Tomahawk, Wis., just when the tissue-paper industry as a whole is having a hard time. Other Congressmen were plainly tired of taking the heat from communities that wanted loans but failed to qualify for them under bureaucratic requirements.

Covey very nearly broke Douglass. Called "the Snake" because he was always sneaking up on the slaves at work, Covey ruled by terror. "My natural elasticity was crushed," writes Douglass, "the disposition to read departed, the dark night of slavery closed in upon me." But Covey flogged Douglass once too often. In a fit of rage, Douglass grabbed Covey by the neck and beat him up. Covey never...
