Douglas most clearly set his own mark of distinction in outlining his code for criticism. "For an opposition to concentrate entirely upon the bad features of a given policy, without also considering the good, and without suggesting a superior substitute, is to fail in its full duty." Specifically, "we Democrats in Congress should: 1) Support the new Administration vigorously when we believe it is right. 2) Be tolerant and understanding when our opponents make minor mistakes . . .

...American village could be "as inquisitorial as an army barracks'' and the American businessman "the most grievous victim of his own militant dullness." At the same time, Lewis kept firing away at his literary enemies: the "genteel philosophy" personified in William Dean Howells, a writer with "the code of a pious old maid whose greatest delight was to have tea at the vicarage"; literary commercialism, which bent the imagination to a soapsuds formula, and highbrow professors who "like their literature clear and cold and pure and very dead...
