Fwd: Time for lunch...........

There is something refreshing about going back to some of the old timers; i.e. Joseph Alsop who in his autobiographical I've Seen the Best of It reflects:

  Sad to remember although (brother) Stew and I reported all this (Dewey's incompetent campaign)

  it in no way changed our conviction that President Truman had no chance of victory.  In advance,

  the election of 1948 was judged to be the dullest in modern memory.  Those of us whose        

  business it was to speculate were so dead sure of the outcome that, by mid-October, we had          stopped paying attention. Indeed, by that time, Stew and I were regularly referring to the Republican      candidate as 'President Dewey' in our columns,  For our readers, on the day of the election we
  solemnly predicted a Republican victory and fretted about how the country might survive the final     weeks of Harry Truman's candidacy.
