...must call you on one point in your story and that is the reference, "this (South Carolina) once aristocratic State." Why once?

Anyhow, those who are on the alert for Nordic bullies or who, for one reason or another, wish to discredit Dr. Jung, have seized upon this solitary leaf from this published works in order to prove that he is unworthy of Harvard honors. As far as I know there are no other examples of this...
