In Coming Days:
Notably: Take these lines from Sinclair Lewis’s Main Street as preface to the Robert Reich video below: “All this profit-sharing and welfare work and insurance and old-age pension is simply poppycock. Enfeebles a workman’s independence–and wastes a lot of honest profit. The half-baked thinker that isn’t dry behind the ears yet, and these suffragettes and God knows what all buttinskis there are that are trying to tell a business man how to run his business, and some of these college professors are just about as bad, the whole kit and bilin’ of ’em are nothing in God’s world but socialism in disguise! And it’s my bounden duty as a producer to resist every attack on the integrity of American industry to the last ditch. Yes–SIR!”

Railroad stations and bus stations: they were the sad places of the war, the limbos of lost souls. All those troops, far from their hometowns, and miserable-looking in their new uni-forms, and the sad, young country girls, pregnant or holding babies, not looking around much, just standing, waiting. Lines everywhere. There was no place you could go that you didn’t have to stand in a line first. Piles of duffel bags. And MP’s with their white leggings and night sticks, patrolling, representing discipline, being discipline in their stiff postures and their sharp uniforms. War could do worse things than this to plain people, but for a sense of the ordinary outrages of life in a country at war, the stations were the place to go.
–From Samuel Hynes, Flights of Passage (1988).
