    Of course we will continue to work for cheaper electricity in the homes and on the farms of America; for better and cheaper transportation; for low interest rates; for sounder home financing; for better banking; for the regulation of security issues; for reciprocal trade among nations and for the wiping out of slums. And my friends, for all of these we have only begun to fight.

    Or a square baby
    Were there not such a din in it.

    For the springtime of her pride,
    Eats the green by easy stages,
    Nibbles at the root beneath
    With intimidating teeth.
