...that atrocious bomb of 1963 when ABC invested many millions on a 40-part series of his fooleries, then canceled out after only 13. But he does have a point.

...Sierras. He is defensive about California's virtues and suspicious of condescending Easterners. Like Los Angeles itself, which has long put up with the patronizing attitude of northern neighbor San Francisco, he seems to take pleasure in playing the underdog even when he knows that he is top dog. During his career, he has sprawled over the political landscape in much the way that his city has sprawled over the countryside.

The sinister Admiral Lille, chief of naval intelligence, seems to think so, and the reader may well decide, despite Aldridge, that the old sea dog is right. There is a great deal of top-level muckraking about the malevolent moral dwarfs who operate international finance-capitalism; it is possibly the least convincing stuff since Upton Sinclair's Lanny Budd went crusading for a better world amid the corrupt chancelleries of Europe...

...time there was a shy little girl and her name was Beatrix. She lived with her Papa and her Mama and her brother Bertram in a grand house at No. 2 Bolton Gardens, Kensington, London, England. Beatrix was not permitted to have any friends, but she did have a dog, a doll, a pet rabbit, a governess, and her own dear little nursery room with strong shiny bars over the windows...
