He assails Ragtime, calling "racial prejudice the crutch on which the book limps along," and renders equal treatment to critics that lapped...
...cannot forever put off mentioning Robert Burr's disappointing Caesar. We are prepared for him by an onstage brass band and drum, but when he at last appears we see a most ordinary man (dressed up, to be sure), lacking all force of personality. By no stretch of the imagination could Cassius say that this Caesar " doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus."

...Church News, Kimball is related, at times to the seventh cousin once removed, to John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Franklin Pierce, Chester A. Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Herbert Hoover, Richard M. Nixon, Gerald Ford and an eclectic lot of non-Presidents including John Foster Dulles, George Gallup, Aaron Burr, Nelson A. Rockefeller, Walt Disney and Humphrey Bogart. Though the Church News makes no mention of it, Kimball can boast such a fruitful family tree largely because his grandfather, in the polygamous old days, had 45 wives...
