This great man made the mistake of congratulating the RCC church in Europe for being the only institution that was warning the world and taking a stand against the nazis.in his letter published in time mag,dec.23,1940 he said it all and for that bit of honesty and courage he was lampooned in the horrible plaly and flick.arsenic and old lace..played by red fronter,peter lorre and made a fool of as a sloppy plastic surgeon..I tell this story at our loca historical site here on long island...

"square' as in a square meal ,used to mean honest and fair..that was changed into meaning "outdated and naive"..remember the world war 2 victory sign .well during the nam war that meant peace at any price!!!!! Gay of course used to mean a fun person ,that was changed into same sex preference. A sloppy person who never bathed or read the papers and knew how to use critical reasoning used to be called a beatnik..that was changed into ..'hippy' a person with it..cool..oh and that word used to mean temperature in a ice box..that was later meant to mean a person who was with it and aware..go figure..now there goes Betty Grable again....Nino
