And in the Daily News...
There are some real winners on this list. Elizabeth Dilling, until the advent of Robert Welch America's most obsessive red-baiter, was even more obsessed with the intricacies of Eleanor Roosevelt's sex life. Pelley, holder of demented racial-religious beliefs, was a precursor to the modern "Christian Identity" movement. George Sylvester Viereck had a connection in Rep. Hamilton Fish's office who used his franking stamp to send out Nazi propaganda. Gerald Winrod was well-known even in his own time as "the Jayhawk Nazi." James True, Washington pseudo-journalist, was the inventor and marketer of a pocket-sized bludgeon he called "the k**e killer." And the publication "New York Enquirer" is none other than the direct ancestor of today's "National Enquirer."
Edythe Farrell, just twenty-eight years old, is one of the most -- interesting -- characters we will meet in 1942. In editing the Police Gazette, favorite prurient reading matter in small-town barbershops everywhere, she kept a copy of Krafft-Ebing's "Psychopathia Sexualis" in her desk for ready reference. And Olga Baranoff there, "The Russian Beauty," is one who probably got a photo in Miss Farrell's sheet.
"Well, that's OK then, as long as you're not one of these Lew Ayers characters."
"Certain politicians?"
"Dear Helen Worth..."
A lot of grand old houses were subdivided into apartments under the FHA's Homes For Defense program. But the FHA didn't say anything about romance.
Everybody's recycling these days. I distinctly remember King gave us this same gag in 1940.
"Meet cute."
Well, from this angle, that's quite an asset.
Awwwww, you're no fun.
