The theme of the anti-Liberty Leaguers was that there was something immoral and conspiratorial about the du Pont family using its great riches to try to defeat the New Deal.
		The league became such an object of attack that the 1936 GOP presidential candidate, Alfred M. Landon, asked the league not to endorse him.
		This account is a preface to my wonderment at the different treatment accorded members of a 21st-century "rich man's club," this one on the left, headed by George Soros and his fellow "economic royalists" in Hollywood who supported Bill Clinton and who are now out to destroy President Bush.
