Fatal Faith. Age difference aside, Royster and Morris share a similar Southern outlook. They have an eye for the out-of-kilter detail, the endearing eccentricity that redeems even an opponent. Royster is a conservative, Morris a liberal; yet the politics of both are mellowed by an appreciation of human quality. Though he disagreed with many of Adlai Stevenson's views, Royster saluted his concession speech ("Too old to cry, but it hurt too much to laugh") in 1952: "I think that nothing better revealed in Mr. Stevenson a quality for leadership than the manner of his yielding...

Woolf mentions friendships, but the reader feels no warmth. He writes most affectionately of a marmoset named Mitz (the gift of a Rothschild), which rode on his shoulder on a tour of Hitler's Germany. The monkey stole the show and distracted the Brownshirts from Woolf's culpable Jewishness...
