...instead of trading on it as he used to. The author apparently intended a series of hard and funny confrontations as Howard, now obsessed with mendacity, tries to force his neighbors to give up even the small lies that make life comfortable. Instead, the book softens to a moralistic goo...

Especially rich-sounding are the Gs in the House. Among them: Gaydos (Gay-duss), Pennsylvania Democrat; Giaimo (Gy-moe), Connecticut Democrat; Gubser (Goob-ser), Republican from California; and Gude (Goo-dee), Republican from Maryland.

The DeCordova's view is new and refreshing. You will look in vain for the Vermont covered bridge, the red barns, weathered clabbard and punctuating steeple, the gulls on the wing and boats at dock (probably Rockport). You will even have to search for the Maine lobsterman, the Vermont farmer...
