Behind him. at the press conference, as usual, sat his political adviser, Charles Michelson, who is Flynn's $25,000-a-year right-hand man and edits all his speeches. The President said: When the country is at war, we want Congressmen, regardless of party, who will back up the Government of the United States and who have a record of backing up the country in an emergency-regardless of party...
