The roar of the motorcars is getting louder every day, and now those new-fangled radio broadcasts are filling the air with a static-heavy rendition of John Schonberger’s "Whispering." I can’t even enjoy the tune with bread hitting eleven cents a loaf and the papers screaming about Senator Lodge’s chaos at the convention.
Everyone’s clacking their T-strap heels on the pavement, whispering about an "attack" from Borah while clutching their silk purses a little tighter. God, I’d trade every "hotsy-totsy" gadget in this city for a real return to normalcy and a steady price for a gallon of gas.
