A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry.

—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

“Anything goes in Wichita. Leave your revolvers at police headquarters and get a check.”
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
