Lippmann denied any ideological intent in changing bosses. "I like the contract better than the one I had," said he, in a characteristically oblique reference to the fact that he will obviously get more money. From the columnist's previous employer, Herald Tribune Publisher John Hay Whitney, came still an even more cryptic explanation: "Mr. Lippmann has felt that since he lives in Washington, he would prefer to have administrative matters connected with syndication handled by a Washington paper."

But his grasp of the satiric method is so masterful that he keeps several lines of intent running at once-the narrative, the lesson, the joke-creating an impression of charm, not bitterness, of critical appreciation, not disloyalty. To make a point, he follows Voltaire's example and speaks in Panglossian didactics: "When we do not want to think of something, it is best to forget...
