...subsidies, featherbedding, Keynesian deficit financing, etc. Through such "creeping socialism," labor's share of the wealth produced has increased from an estimated 50% in 1870-80 to 70% in 1956. Yet this redistribution, argue K. & A., while it may have been necessary to boost mass purchasing power, is unjust...
COMMON SENSE AND THE FIFTH AMENDMENT, by Sidney Hook. Plentifully supported by logic and his own common sense, Philosopher Hook shows how sentimental, not too commonsensical liberals have accepted the Fifth Amendment as a shelter for the just and the unjust alike.

San Pedro (1931), The Last Adam (1933), The Just and the Unjust (1942), and now By Love Possessed. Still another novel, Guard of Honor, won the Pulitzer Prize for 1948.

Guard of Honor, the best of U.S. World War II novels...
...these books, Cozzens not only searched himself, but researched his subjects with immense care. For The Just and the Unjust he haunted the nearby Doylestown courthouse (it reappears in By Love Possessed), devoured legal tomes, listened to the shoptalk of the lawyers, finally became so adept that he was stumping" them on abstruse points of law. An Air Force general proofread Guard of Honor for boners, found not a single...
