...Hell with Them!" Urging formation of a Townsend third party in a letter to Clements last September, Dr. Townsend wrote: "I tell you, Old Fellow, the way for us to lick the stuffing out of the old parties is to become militant and go after them hammer and tongs for being totally incompetent, as we know they are. . . . We should begin ... to talk about the 'Townsend Party,' not wait in the foolish hope that one of the old groups will adopt us. If they do, they will treat us like poor adopted trash. To hell with them...
...twelve years. I became insolvent. I had to borrow money and to make notes which I have struggled to reduce, and which I did reduce and which some day I'll pay."

But you little fellows will just get hell. You will find someone else warming your seats here next year, while you run around begging a ticket...
...memorable notes in Education Before Verdun. As in Sergeant Grischa, the War is not the subject but the setting-with the difference that here the setting overlooms the human figures struggling in brief silhouet before its curtain. Fortress-girt Verdun, innermost circle of the Western Front's hell; where in 1916 the French and Germans each lost 350,000 men; where, between February and July, 23 million shells punctuated the deadlocked argument; Douaumont, captured and recaptured but each time by an accident, the death trap where an explosion wiped out a whole battalion and the corpses were bricked...
