[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 715751, member: 2189"] Another Macism or stick poking that I'm so fond and prone to do? No, actually the title of a piece in the May 25th 1956' (yeah I said 1956') issue of US News and World Report in which IRS Commissioner T. Coleman Andrews makes some rather startling statements and if made today might provoke catcalls of extremist or other names. Hope you find this over 50 year old piece worthwhile and informative.
