New York Review of Books

One-worlder Russell Baker spots one of Our Country’s most alarming distinguishing characteristics en route to traducing the sainted Woodrow:

Fear of the evil foreigner seems to be an ever-present poison in American politics, and it was running higher than usual in 1917 when young J. Edgar Hoover took his first job at the Justice Department. It is a fear that flourishes most dangerously when whooped up by politicians too highly reputed as statesmen to be dismissed as demagogues, and the man whooping loudest in 1917 was President Woodrow Wilson, the most pious statesman of the day.

Miss Sylvia Flores responds with equable stupidity to Mr. Sam A. Westergren’s stirring call for Obamacare on the Correspondence page of a great American gazette and delicatessen: 

Sam A. Westergren, you made my day! I agree with your letter 100 percent (“Benefits of health care act,” May 30).

Why can’t people understand the good in the affordable care act? Imagine, they are turning down a health plan that lets their child stay on their insurance plan until they are 26 years old and they can’t be denied coverage if they have a pre-existing condition.

Empty minds make bad decisions! They are like sheep that follow the other sheep into oblivion. Our president needs four more years to undo the debacle he stepped into three-and-a-half years ago.
