...crudely our leaders speak the language; one thought the pulp puppets of Seven Days in Many only talked that way because they'd just finished Advise and Consent. The truth is that Drury and Bailey and the others had flesh-and-blood models for their artless heroes. And ill-clothed in the cliches, ill-housed in the vapidity, were appallingly undernourished concepts of the problems that a trusting nation had confided to the care of these men. The intellectual frigidity of Dulles produced, of course, the greatest disappointments. Hughes is eloquent in describing both the tone of Dulles's thought...
...fantastic stretch running of Silky Sullivan (who finished eighth.) In 1959 it was Silver Spoon's attempt to become the second filly in history to win the classic. In 1961 the race was pictured as a virtual class struggle and a triumph of the American Way when the ill- bred Carry Back, the horse from the other side of the tracks, won, the race with a brilliant stretch drive.

With rare insight, Cau traces the growth of guilt in his characters. After the death of his brother, his parents' favorite child, the doctor fell ill and tried to atone by dying. In his sickbed, he saw (or did he imagine?) his mother trying on her mourning finery and soothing him: "You're going to go away to be nice to Mama, aren't you, my love? You won't get well like a bad little boy . . ." Match was sure he had insulted his parents by being born ugly: "I was never entitled to the qualities...
