...only right and justifiable that the press, as a servant of the people, should print the truth concerning all matters with which the public and the nation at large are concerned; for to publicize unfounded and malicious lies is to create Fascism, Naziism, Tojoism and Communism, jeopardizing the peace, freedom and security of the nation . . . Unless [such] treacherous propaganda ... is put an end to, the people of this nation will suffer the consequences with continued transportation disasters, floods, tornadoes and ultimate war which would undoubtedly mean the annihilation of civilization...
...ditch might pop up in the next chapter. Inspiration, he was always the first to insist, had nothing to do with it. He got up every morning at 5:30 and wrote with calm assurance until breakfast, after which he took up his duties as a hard-working civil servant in the Post Office. When he had written enough for one book, he simply wrapped up the loose ends as best he could, reached for another sheet of paper and began the next.

His relations with the White House are efficiently firm-he confers with the President a couple of times a week, usually lunches with him on Mondays. But the Secretary of Agriculture has never plunged into the panoply of Cabinet rank, nor has he been taken into the circle of cronies...
...capital has not damaged the Brannans' pronounced, almost frugal, simplicity. Brannan's conversation is still punctuated by "Lordy" and "gosh," and an occasional ungrammatical "he don't." He and Eda Brannan live in a plain, two-room Washington apartment, with no children and no servant. He bought his first white tie & tails for Truman's Inaugural, complains that he has had no use for them since...
