The only gloom in Rushville, Ind. was a deep, cool shade beneath black walnut and apple trees, out in back of t ie 80-year-old worn brick house on Harrison Street which he had rented as a temporary residence.

At the same time, it seemed that manufacturers were not passing...

When he stares down at voters waiting for political words, which he essentially despises, he will undoubtedly reflect that they ought to be sitting under shade trees, dreaming just for the fun of dreaming. He has said: "... I believe that most of us, once the opportunity is afforded, will discover within ourselves a variety of stimulating and pleasant things to do." He has listed dreaming as one of the worth-while occupations. To Henry Wallace, campaigning in nightmarish 1940 will...
