Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Big Frogs
Hoover must be increasingly aware as, with the years, his yearning for the White House has caused him to be come increasingly politically minded. He has never, happily for his future, expressed a corollary; that it is equally difficult to regulate morals by constitutional amendment. He enjoys, therefore, the support of the drys. The talent for giving birth to a phrase, nullified by inability to sound it, is only part Of the Hoover paradox. There are other apparent contradictions which make him to-day one of the most widely known and least understood men in the United States. It is said of him, for example, that he has genius for personal publicity. It is whispered that releases from the Department of Commerce Speed daily to every newspaper office in the land and that they invariably mention Hoover's name. Yet, though the Presidency hangs upon it, he cannot pose for a photograph without looking quite Silly. On a fishing trip in Florida last February he declined to exhibit his morning's catch for camera men to snap.
