It is a deliberate attack upon all those who have befouled a large portion of this country for private gain, and are engaged in befouling the rest.' - Its message is simple and explicit. Man can ruin anything, and does. - [January 12, 1964 - New York Times]. - Bottom spine a bit bumped, otherwise a good copy
