Halleck's designation was a clear snub to the Taft forces in Congress, but it was not the clean-cut Dewey victory which some observers seemed to think. Tom Dewey had merely jumped on the Halleck bandwagon after it was well ahead...
...already in the $75,000-a-year class as a freelancer, and as art director of an advertising agency, snub-nosed Paul Rand still looks very much like the kid who spent his evenings studying commercial art at Brooklyn's Pratt Institute.

James F. Byrnes was fed up too. With steady patience, the U.S. Secretary of State had listened to Foreign Minister Molotov's distortion of U.S. motives. He had watched poker-faced when Molotov (whom the British Foreign Office privately calls Aunt Molly) rudely bounced out to snub speeches he violently disapproved and with an expression of "the heart has its reasons that reason knows not of," sat them out in the corridor...
