...Inner Light is not human conscience or human reason, but is above both, illuminating reason and sensitizing conscience. "It is," Howard Brinton has written in one of the Pendle Hill pamphlets, "that Creative Power which first dawned upon chaos and which draws all things upward into nobler states of being."

Readers will gain new respect for Hoover's intelligence, stubborn integrity and devotion to public welfare, but in Lyons' pages he remains an unbending, inaccessible man in a stiff collar, a man peculiarly unfitted for the cutthroat rough & tumble of political life...
