How It Works
He is like the retired business man who lolls in the Florida sunshine in the winter complaining of the sad state of the nation; the minister who sighs over the sins of the twentieth century; politicians and reformers who are sure all
would be Utopia if the rest of
the world would only behave; the outlaw safe cracker who thinks society has wronged him; and the alcoholic who has lost all
and is locked up.
