...blow or two, just before the bell. (This week Truman hinted that Dewey is a "front man" for fascism, and likened him to Hitler.) In an effort to inject some commotion, both parties revived the old-time torchlight procession. Harry Truman began the week with a monster rally in Chicago, where Boss Jake Arvey's minions kindled enough flame and fireworks to burn down the whole town.

Throughout this blending of themes, the bonds of humanity between oil riggers and a Cajun boy illumine the recurrent thesis of Flaherty's works: "Mankind is one community...
