By almost unanimous consensus, Tom Dewey's success has been founded upon that genius which somebody once defined as “an infinite capacity for taking pains.” The legend of invincibility which he attached to himself, as prosecuting attorney, arose from the fact that he would not go to court until his evidence was so overwhelming as to be almost foolproof.
