...houses come gardens. A big house is one way to establish Paradise, but a garden, historically, is a more appropriate place to start. The childish "What if that envisions a mansion is not nearly so ambitious as one that seeks to transplant cypresses from one soil to another (as Hearst did in San Simeon) or to display the rarest species. (After seeing Lionel Rothschild's Japanese garden in London, the Japanese Ambassador was said to remark: "We have nothing like this in Japan.") Versailles, the model of gardening for so many big spenders, must have had Eden...

But the American electorate got quite skilled at rejecting their advice. Poor press lords! They could thunder, and they could misinform, but they could not persuade. As one of Lord Beaverbrook's editors once remarked, "No cause is really lost until we support it." The relative lack of advocacy in the political journalism of 1980 makes the coverage sound remarkably homogeneous...
