...Clark Howell and his paper the Atlanta Constitution. In 1933 President Roosevelt offered Democrat Howell a fat diplomatic post which he declined on the ground he could serve party & nation better at home.

Moreover, he is financially interested in the companies which are affected by the new order, and his great yen for justice in this case is all too intimately connected with his pocketbook. Apparently, he expected--somewhat naively, one is inclined to think--that any telegram from him would simply be assumed to proceed from the most altruistic reasons. For how could the boy who flew across the ocean with only a sandwich for company, who was so blushing and modest and gawky in the face...
