As a short addendum to today's entry, it's interesting to note that tonight the Boston Red Sox will attempt to wrap up their bid for World Series
Champion in their hometown. If they are successful, it'll be the first
time that Boston has won the Series at home since 1918, the year of the
short season caused by the World War One "Work or Fight" ban on
continued play.
That's sort of interesting in and of itself, but it's also interesting in the historical context in the contrast it offers between World War One and World War Two. The Wilson Administration really took a much heavier handed approach toward the home-front than FDR later did in a wide variety of ways.
