...suspected indiscretion depends on time and place, on who knows and who tells, on the prestige-and vulnerability-of the persons involved. Pure caprice is often a factor. What one man gets away with for a lifetime may destroy another overnight. Charles Parnell fell from power because of the honest love of a married woman, while his near-contemporary, David Lloyd George, remained Prime Minister of Great Britain despite many love affairs and several illegitimate children. As his son almost boastfully put it: "He was probably the greatest natural Don Juan in the history of British politics. To portray...

His penchant for throwing "dusters" prompted Atlanta Braves Slugger Hank Aaron to label him a "mean" pitcher, and San Francisco Manager Herman Franks hinted last year that Drysdale had more on the ball than honest sweat. That led to Drysdale's "greasy kid stuff" commercial,* which still regularly appears on television.

He had himself been a famous poacher until he was injured in a fall while trapping beaver illegally; the injury has forced him into honest work and accepting wages from a society that he sees as basically corrupt. Doc Mechling, a wealthy physician from the nearby town of Sixes, refuses to help trap the poacher because he believes that one man's guilt is inconsequential compared with the monstrous shame of modern times, with its "computers...
