The piece recalls a keynote at the Democratic national convention by Senator Barkley linking a former war era to today’s inflation and political upheaval. It argues that the postwar period bred dictators, armament, and shifted economies, while warning the era’s policies left lingering problems.

It ends with local notes from Estherville about a tornado near the river and a handyman finding a $1 bill while mowing.
