...this patchwork Smith wants to weave a new Roosevelt-like alliance. Over his kitchen table, professors and biochemistry grad students from nearby Tulane exchange political banter with a retired Negro post-office worker, and the white leader of a local labor union.

Nobody would listen-even when, as adviser to the Labor Party on foreign affairs, he tried in 1938 to muster the party to support rearmament against Hitler. Nobody, Woolf complains, read his three-volume treatise on politics...
