...knock four years off his age (he was born in 1925, not 1929). They also have Wilson referring to Ulysses S. Grant's "Personal Memoirs" under the title "Personal Veracity." Did they misread Wilson's notoriously crabby handwriting (the earlier collection quotes it accurately)? Or was it a Freudian slip on Wilson's part? Either way the mistake goes, literally, unnoted.

The coin of any realm?runaway domestic best sellerdom?is the surest ticket out of Japan. But occasionally literary laurels based on distinctive work over an extended career...
...Maybe he does. Or a gentile jockstrap masquerading as a Freudian analyst (and fooling no one). Or Howard Hughes. But the motive for Gore's beard is not ideological. The beard is not a badge - not a party uniform...
