...such array of talent or of enthusiasm could the President muster on his side. The best he had were Hugo LaFayette Black, Alben Barkley, Sherman Minton, Henry Ashurst, Robert La Follette. From these the level of enthusiasm and ability fell rapidly away. His reliable wheel horses Robinson, Harrison, Byrnes and others were still true, but their attitude indicated that at heart they were no more than lukewarm. Not yet forgotten was the promise of the Democratic platform, made last summer, that if the aims of the New Deal could not be accomplished within the Constitution an amendment would be proposed...

...unmixed emotions was the orchestra he made great. Without him, the Philharmonic-Symphony has managed to maintain its U. S. supremacy under the vigorous baton of young John Barbirolli and assorted guest conductors like Georges Enesco and Igor Stravinsky. With Toscanini back, in command of the first-desk orchestral talent which rich NBC already has and can add to, there will be in the land another competitor for symphonic supremacy, with the continent instead of Carnegie Hall for its auditorium...
