...after 32 years, put aside his liberal beliefs long enough to make his peace with the Regular Republicans. Gifford Pinchot became a Progressive with Theodore Roosevelt in 1912. For years he has plagued one of the most conservative and hidebound States of the Union with his own individual brand of radicalism. When Franklin Roosevelt entered the White House Governor Pinchot flirted outrageously with the New Deal, evidently in the hope of winning some sort of Democratic support. But President Roosevelt, for once, was not lured across party lines to help a political friend, and Governor Pinchot was roundly trounced...
...arrived on the Ile de France with a manager, a pianist, a violinist, three maids, 23 trunks, 50 pieces of hand luggage, a 12th Century Buddha and a $6,000-per-week contract. Awaiting her were a Sherry-Netherland penthouse, a show called Continental Varieties, a brand new night club on the 65th floor of the R. C. A. building, Rockefeller Center.

The implication was that Generalissimo Chiang will make himself President and move into the brand new $100,000 Chinese "White House" (yellow walls, blue tile roof) at Nanking which puppet President Lin has never ventured to occupy...
...throw it Over the ocean-to-ocean-flinging land And flip its loop across the lifted, crashing Defiant horns of the wild American spirit And with a twist around the saddle horn Drop it to earth, and on its sprawling hide Burn the clear new-world brand that unto men Shall be a witness of our heritage Wherever that great untamable beast shall toss The stars of heaven on its horns and graze Across the grassy ranges of the world...
