True, there was something in his attitude, a superficiality, that caused some to question him. But whenever doubts were raised, those close to Berrigan would brush them aside. Their trust in Boyd F. Douglas was implicit. It was also misplaced; he is the informer upon whose testimony the Government's conspiracy charges against Berrigan and five other defendants depend heavily (TIME cover...

Today Rockwell's America may seem almost as distant as Thomas More's Utopia, but this sumptuous tome pleasurably suggests why his genre pieces, painterly apple-pie to the last brush stroke, defined a whole area of solid comfort and nostalgic selfesteem...
