...Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Company under a Crown charter John Winthrop, arch-Puritan, sailed from Eng land in March 1630, aboard the tiny Arbella. On June 12 he landed at Salem.

Washington waited to see what ef fect the catchy phrase "three mills . . . six cents" might have on the Senatorial inquisition, the great Power Probe, long-sought by the greatest inquisitor of them all, Senator Walsh of Montana. The investigation, started by a Walsh resolution in 1926, into the propagandizing activities and financial structure of public utilities...
