The Anatomy of Giveaway

Before writing this review of Eugene W. Castle’s new book, The Great Giveaway (Regnery $3.50) I inquired about Mr. Castle at the International Cooperation Administration. Officials there told me that he was a crackpot and not to be trusted. He was also a “sorehead,” they told me.

I offer these opinions, not as a measure of Mr. Castle whom I never met, but as mild examples of what is said about non-believers of the federal gospel. I can’t help wondering how many reviewers of Mr. Castle’s book were put off by the known disfavor of the Liberal Establishment.
