Iowa had a lovely dinner ready using her best china and linen. Everything went off just right — a fine turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, string beans, a vegetable salad.

We couldn’t tell just what she did want — was she socialist or communist? She seemed to favor Russia, but we were glad when the subject was changed. She looks like she might be of German descent.
