“Whenever you hear a prominent American called a ‘Fascist,’” Hearst declared, “you can usually make up your mind that the man is simply a LOYAL CITIZEN WHO STANDS UP FOR AMERICANISM.” Beginning in November 1934, Hearst sent reporters disguised as students into college classrooms, to trap teachers in unconventional comments. Nobody wanted to change the American economic system, he said, except for “a few incurable malcontents, a few sapheaded college boys, and a few unbalanced college professors.”

“Americans ignore history”
