" Her husband was approved by 58% of the voters in a recent Gallup poll (and by 62% of the major party voters in the 1936 election). Mrs. Roosevelt won approval from 67%.

The system works to everyone's advantage except Henry's until he is called upon to decide when and why the average U. S. citizen would go to war. At this point Thanks for Everything explodes into a climax which combines straight slapstick with vigorous satire on such U. S. preoccupations as the advertising...
