...Every one of us, every day, meets countrymen, often in the highest places of the national hierarchy, who treat with a grand contempt, even anger, any uneasiness that one expresses on the French situation. They repeat that this uneasiness is nothing but the result of Communist propaganda, and that one should have the courage to say, in all good conscience, 'Things aren't going so badly...
...load falls unfairly on consumers. An industrial worker with two children, earning $1.000 a year, pays 15% income tax (in the U.S. he would pay nothing). On the other hand, two million French farm families, one-third of the population, pay next to nothing. Politicians dare not anger them. Farm income is calculated on the basis of land values last assessed in 1908. Since then, prices have jumped 170 times, but the old tax rates have increased only one-tenth as fast. Result: 1,500,000 farm families pay no tax at all; the rest pay less than...
...evangelist. For weeks in 1951, as the Kefauver crime investigation held the U.S. public spellbound before their TV sets, New Hampshire's Senator Charles William Tobey stole scene after scene from Estes Kefauver, Rudolph Halley and the parade of squirming gangsters and sweating politicians.

The Jews want our money, the Socialists want our land, the eugenists want our women, the teetotalers want our beer, and the Protestants don't know what they want. Four devils...
When Halleck was finished, Dan Reed rose to reply. His face flamed anger, his bony jaw jutted, Chairman Allen offered him a chair, but Reed snapped: "I'm still able to stand." He stood, straight as an oak, while he boiled over. "This [rules] committee has no authority . . . EPT is nothing but an unlawful bandit cutting the throats of industry . . . This [hearing] may be the destruction of representative government. If that's true, this is no place for me." Reed's voice rose to a passionate shout. "What have I done in my 35 years that...
