  • Trivia
    In a 1930 article entitled "A Plea for Intolerance," he held that the United States was not plagued by bigotry so much as it was plagued by the "weird fungus of broadmindedness": "A bigoted man is one who refuses to accept a reason for anything; a broadminded man is one who will accept anything for a reason, providing it is not a good reason.".
  • Quotes
    It used to be that the Catholics were the only ones to believe in the Immaculate Conception. Now everyone believes he is the immaculately conceived.
  • Nickname
    • "Uncle Fultie"
