OQ #15

Historian James Truslow Adams coined the phrase X in his 1931 book Epic of America:

The X is that ____ of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult ____ for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, also too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a ____ of motor cars and high wages merely, but a ____ of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position.

Online quiz #12

one for today:

The name X dates to Y's childhood. As a child, Y was a reader of the magazine Youth's Companion. The magazine, best known for producing the original Pledge of Allegiance in 1891, was published in Boston, Massachusetts, by X & Co . When Y created X, he borrowed the name of the company that published his favorite childhood magazine. There have been several movies and radio shows based on X, the most famous adaptation being a CBS TV series which ran from 1957 to 1966, with Raymond Burr in the title role. William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, fans of X, parodied the character in episodes of The Flintstones and The Jetsons. Identify X.
