...when opportunity presents, make and wage relentless war, secretly and openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Masons, as I am directed to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth.

...flaw: "typical" American butter-and-eggers idolized in Lindbergh all the heroism which their own ready-to-wear existence lacked, and would always prefer a Lindbergh to the "honest-to-God master genius" who invented the electric ice box. Author Lewis has concocted the synthetic Schmaltzian horror, only to flay it for having no imagination beyond its mechanistic world, and yet he, concocter, flayer, is a victim of the same mechanism. Crammed with a thousand facts, equipped with test tube and tuning fork, Lewis's laboratory does not imagine the chemical of human kindness. The defenseless specimen wallows blandly...
