What may really be lamentable, and closer home, is that so many citizens of our own country show this same deadly suspicion of the ultra-liberal professorial class, called into the Brain Trust and other high posts to save us lest we perish. The result, so far, seems to be that each is so right the other can be but wrong...
...jury thought we had set fire to it ourselves, to get the insurance. Also, and worse yet, they thought we had arranged our affairs in such a way that we could beat the local tradesmen out of the money we owed them. It was a matter for suspicion that we had got ropes, to serve as fire-escapes, shortly before the fire: they blamed us for this, and at the same time they blamed us because we had made insufficient preparations. . . .

Ranging over a number of social and economic matters, the Pastoral found in the world all manner of unholy ills: "greed . . . indecency . . . degeneracy . . . corruption . . . selfishness . . . unrest . . . hunger . . . despair . . . civil strife . . . indulgence . . . vulgarity . . . ambition . . . infamy . . . hatred . . . suspicion . . . disillusionment . . . privation . . . wickedness . . . misfortune . . . folly."

Publicly he explained that Alpha's repertory of answers consisted of 20 or 30 recordings on wax cylinders, as in oldtime phonographs, which were run off in the control cabinets and reproduced from the loud speaker in the robot...
...Bacon decried the allegation that if he is elected, all ERA money will cease coming to Massachusetts. He promised, on the contrary, that he could get from Washington everything Curley could, and said he had "a sneaking suspicion he could do more than Curley." He claimed that Curley's alleged nefarious practices to date are only an "ante in the pot before the game begins," Moreover, Mr. Bacon pledged his word that one hundred cents in every dollar received from Washington will be properly assigned...
