...Enormous Untruth. But though postwar motorists were gradually becoming horn-blowing neurotics with tendencies toward drinking, cat-kicking and wife-beating, there were few who did not believe that the traffic evil would soon be corrected.

...York Daily News's poison penman, John Parsons O'Donnell, was caught in an untruth, and had to eat his words. In his Capitol Stuff column, which goes to the News's 2,000,000 readers, a good part of them Jewish, O'Donnell had put forth his own version of why General George S. Patton Jr. had fallen from power and glory. Hinted O'Donnell darkly: a Jewish plot...
