[after commenting about the surprising lack of automobiles in wartime (Spring 1943) New York due to fuel rationing]
"A visiting Briton looking down on this sight, his belt uncomfortably tight after three-and-a-half years of war, would often remark that it would do Americans good to learn to walk. This is a sound moral observation, but it is as spiritually satisfying to the ordinary American as telling a bankrupt baker that man does not live by bread alone."
