...great spokesman arose in the U. S. to tell the meaning of this contest. But last week it was apparent that the U. S. willingness to harbor British children had roused a greater response than any single campaign since the war began. A Gallup poll disclosed that between 5,000,000 and 7,000,000 U. S. families were willing to take in British and French children for the duration of the war. The Manhattan headquarters of the U. S. Committee for the Care of European Children were swamped with appeals, crowded with visitors: in two weeks...

Most of his book is devoted to tips on how a poor boy can go to college. It also relates many...
...month later, there were about 200 Willkie-for-President Clubs scattered throughout the country. Great was the enthusiasm among these political innocents when a Gallup poll showed that a staggering three per cent of U. S. voters favored Willkie above all other Republicans (Dewey -67%; Vandenberg -14%; Taft -12%). By last week their enthusiasm had broken all bounds: upwards of 750 Willkie Clubs had been organized, new ones were forming at the rate of 20, 30, 40 a day; a Gallup poll now put Willkie second in popular choice, ahead of Taft and Vandenberg, and still growing; at least...
