ADOLPH A. BERLE JR.

Long and unchallenged control in everything in the Commonwealth has given many of these gentlemen the perfectly natural feeling that whosoever is not approved by them is ipso facto a person who is either 'dangerous' or lacking in 'judicial temperament' .... They simply cannot realize, and do not, that a long New England ancestry is not prima facie a trusteeship for everything in New England. That is in my judgment the real spring of most of the opposition.

Only when a political system has decided what is good and beautiful, can it take the intermediate step and set the priorities for reaching its goals.

Harry Hopkins is nice and likable, but would commit murder for the president [Franklin Roosevelt].
