...last grim days, Bruce retained a legion of loyal admirers; they bought his records and his autobiography, and won new converts to the cult. Among the faithful there were some who admired not only the thrust of his satire but the drama implicit in his life. Critic Albert Goldman delivered a healthily skeptical Brucian epitaph...

But this lunacy in Manhattan has no imagination to propel its whimsy, no language to give it breath. Goldman is a dealer in used ideas ("The Bible has it wrong-Earth is Eden!" cries Justin).
