...organ. L'Impero recalled that the murdered millionaire socialist Deputy Giacomo Matteotti (TIME, June 23, 1924, et seq.) was my brother-in-law, and accused me of anti-Fascist leanings similar to his. Italians resident in the U. S. were called upon to boycott my performances and to treat me with violence...
There is a belief here that a graduate student is an insect which frequents some library or other wears dirty collars, and eats at a cafeteria Nothing so makes a man an insect as to treat him like one.

S., news and far too little from anywhere else, and the way you treat the President and all his doings is, to my mind, quite distasteful to a man of liberal and democratic ideas. I have never even in old time royalistic Europe seen a sovereign of any country belly-scraped to as much, as you are doing it to your own popularly elected...
