Three or four million heads of families don’t turn into tramps and cheats overnight, nor do they lose the habits and standards of a lifetime…. They don’t drink any more than the rest of us, they don’t lie any more, they’re no lazier than the rest of us…. An eighth or a tenth of the earning population does not change its character which has been generations in the molding, or, if such a change actually occurs, we can scarcely charge it up to personal sin. —federal relief administrator Harry Hopkins
