...this great University has thriven, should remain unlynched, unfought, and unavenged? I put the issue squarely before you: should a President thus avowedly upholding the principles of class hatred, violence, murder, dictatorship, tyranny, and unconstitutionality remain in office at Harvard? If you answer yes, you also are an unAmerican traitor, the only difference between you and a convicted criminal being that there is now in effect a law against the latter, whereas the law against you and your sort has not yet been passed...
Here was a test of strength, a sign of returning vigour in the American masses, so the reactionaries, quick to quench spiritual fires wherever beginning to blaze, set to work. Mayor LaGuardia, already having flown his true colors as a traitor to the masses in the purge of Marcantonio, issued a few proclamations regarding Public Health, and tried to arrange parleys for peace, where naturally intelligence has an unfair advantage.

His chief accuser, Nobel Peaceman Sir Austen Chamberlain, a pillar of official rectitude and a torch of moral indignation against The Deal, had been saving a place...
...tempered gentleman at the head of an office saying that Communists were swine and that if they did not behave themselves they would be shot." ''Not so," replied Putzy. ''Did you not also," Sir Patrick continued, "say that 'Catholic priests are swines and traitors-swines, all swines! All Catholics are swines?' " To this Dr. Hanfstaengl fervently replied: "Preposterous! . . . Such a remark would include the present Leader of Germany, Chancellor Adolf Hitler, who is also a Roman Catholic." The best Sir Patrick could do was to coax Putzy to admit that when Lady Listowel called...
