...York police department responded with the assignment of a detail of 400 policemen and appropriate attendant publicity. Now it is one thing for the Communist Party to attempt to make a Keystone Comedy out of the trial; it is another matter entirely for the City of New York to help them. In the first place the presence of that many police says, in effect, that the defendant's followers are ready to use violence against the federal judiciary. But that is the charge upon which the eleven are being tried. Conceivably, the sight of all that blue serge could influence...
...cover story gives him a chance to examine a sport, as well as a champion, in considerable detail. In the case of Ben Hogan, a number of people had to be seen before the story assumed its proper focus. After his five days with Hogan, whom he liked and respected, Smith invited the golfer and his wife to come out to the house the next time they were in New York City.

Since this was the case, it is disappointing that the book does not go into greater detail on Dreiser's political activities, his adherence to Communism before his death, or into the bumbling and fumbling of the writing of his later years. The deeper loss that his approach involves is the loss of emotion that would give meaning to the facts so carefully presented...
