But although the first impulse is to brush aside these sweeping encomiums to the "great statesman" who has passed away, from their very extravagance something significant can be extracted, both about the man himself and the America which worshipped him. They testify to something in Calvin Coolidge's character, and in his role on the American scene, which...
