...last week in Razzia, the Brattle has now turned its cinemascopic concern to the affirmation of those ideals that have inspired the American republic for centuries.

Morgan, Jr.; Raymond Moley who can now be found on the inside back page of Newsweek; an early anti-communist of the Dies-McCarthy school named William A. Wirt; plus Father Coughlin, Col. Lindbergh, Bernard Baruch, and a host of others. On the Left there were Harry Hopkins, Jesse Jones, Leon Henderson, Ben Cohen, Tommy Corcoran, Henry Wallace, and John L. Lewis. These are the people whom Schlesinger brings back from the sidelines of history into...
