Rockefeller, arriving in Miami, as "black comedy Falstaff, not only disastrous in himself, but the cause of disaster in others. ... He was not only a late starter; he had developed a fascination with the starting gate, and kept circling through it as if it were a revolving door." To the surprise of many readers of William F.
