...Imprisoned Self. What happens when the mood fails is sadly apparent in Clock Without Hands, a novel without direction or much visible point except as a tame foray into race relations.

In the early hours of the morning after Inauguration Day, the President dropped by at a private party given by Columnist Joe Alsop, who lives in bachelor splendor in Georgetown among his parakeets and treasured antiques. Fortnight ago, the President went hiking with the Chattanooga Times's Pulitzer Prizewinner Charles Bartlett, whose wife is John Jr.'s godmother. Last week he took...
