Is one to lose one's youthful faith or is there
a nigger in the woodpile somewhere?
I think the nigger is that R.R. has failed to
acknowledge changing conditions, the increasing
poverty of the rich, and the increasing luxury of
the poor. Chrysler are suddenly making nearly
2000 a day of the new Plymouth at $535
which is a superb little job.
Kindest regards
Sincerely yours
Maurice Olley
