Truman Democrats by his blunt attacks on the socialistic tendencies of the Fair Deal. He stood for a conservative-liberal philosophy which could support certain federal grants for social welfare, but opposed any further spread of federal power or of the welfare state. On these issues the G.O.P. had a case to make, and in the Senate Ohio's Taft made it. His fellow Ohioan, Clarence Brown, called him "Mr. Republican."

...play itself (which Eliot charted last year with complex blackboard diagrams at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study) marked his departure from Greek myth and medieval legend. Set in a modern London flat and a psychiatrist's Harley Street office, it contained social chitchat, a bawdy ballad and a couple of interlocking triangles.
