...body politic, too valuable a natural resource to be left free from State control. In that corner-the private broadcasters who have an estimated $150,000,000 invested in plant, who last year made some $140,000,000 from time sales, and gave a 24-hour free show 365 days to a whole nation...
...Show me a nigger who can do a problem in Euclid or parse a Greek verb," jeered Southern Statesman John C. Calhoun before the Civil War, "and I'll admit he's a human being."

Rushing over to lead in the winner, Owner Herbert Maurice Woolf, a Kansas City clothier famed as a breeder of show horses, was so elated that he pranced like one of his colts, swung his binoculars above his head in circles, pumped the hand of Jockey Arcaro again & again.

First, F. Stewart Stranahan of Providence, R. L, with a $17,500 claim against the show, threw it into receivership. Then, padding at Stranahan's heels, a delegation of McCoy's Sioux Redmen visited Commissioner of Indian Affairs John Collier, threatened a sitdown strike against Tim McCoy unless he: 1) came through with back pay, 2) furnished more than one clean shirt a week...
