Lindbergh wrote later in a letter to her mother in law. At first Miss Gow thought Lindbergh had taken his son from the crib for a joke, Mrs. Lindbergh continued, adding poignantly, I did, until I saw his face.

Alfred Kazin admired her as a lyricist of action. Millions of Americans respected Mrs. Lindbergh,too. The readers of Good Housekeeping magazine voted her one of their 1. This admiration was expressed over and over during her long life notably by letter writers at the time of the kidnapping. And after the poet John Ciardi reviewed The Unicorn and Other Poems Random House in The Saturday Review and called her poetry inept, jingling, slovenly, illiterate, the magazine was soon rocked by what its editor, Norman Cousins, called the biggest storm of reader protest in our 3. Mrs. Lindberghs female admirers. The respect for Mrs. Lindbergh also survived bitter controversy over her 1. The Wave of the Future, a short, hazy manifesto, written while World War II raged in Europe. She wrote that she did not endorse communism or fascism, but that she saw them as inevitable effects of what she called the wave of the future. She also said she hoped the United States could avoid entering the conflict. And, in a letter, she wrote that she was beginning to feel that Hitler was a very great man, like an inspired religious leader and as such rather fanatical but not scheming, not selfish, not greedy for power.

Thats what will happen. But he didnt believe me. When he gave the speech, he said The leaders of both the British and Jewish races, for reasons which are understandable from their viewpoint as they are inadvisable from ours, for reasons which are not American, wish to involve us in the war. We cannot blame them for looking out for what they believe to be their own interests, but we also must look out for ours. We cannot allow the natural passions and prejudices of other peoples to lead our country to destruction.
