...tale of the masterful, but neurotic bootlegger manipulating a medicore, but good sheriff into a tragic trap. The Noblest Roman is somewhat ineffectual.

...Halberstam finds a link between ter in his protagonist's paranoiac pride. Because Angelo was Italian, the local burghers never accepted him. With this alienation as a basis, Halberstam makes the bootlegger a proud man who must win completely or completely withdraw, who manifests his hatred for the hypocrites of Corvallis by selling whiskey to them.

Finally, Mr. Halberstam appears highly impressed by the actions of Dr. David Minter and Gene Cox. The actions of these men may be seen, according to my interpreation of Mr. Halberstam's position, as pointing the way to a solution of the Southern position. This, I believe, is a fanciful notion. The solution is not so simple and for this reason I leave it to the others who are much better informed. But one thing is certain, and that is, when one is treating social relations as they exist in America today, the world situation should make him stop...
