...agent of Ho Chi Minh and campus disorders. Simultaneously, Dwight MacDonald--one of the "walking dead" himself--saw affinities between Wolfe, Hitler, Joe McCarthy, and your run-of-the-mill kamikaze pilot. Finally, in an effort to eliminate superficial contradictions while injecting a needed sense of perspective, Walter Lippmann categorically declared: "Tom Wolfe...
Thus Roman Catholics like William Buckley, Sargent Shriver and Ted Kennedy are pushed toward Waspdom by their associations, professions and life styles. Though German Jewish, Walter Lippmann is still a Waspirant. His clubs (Metropolitan, Cosmos, River) and his influence on opinion give him undeniable Wasp power.

...Paris in 1918 ("Somehow, I managed to crawl out of that fix"). As assistant to Publisher Ralph Pulitzer on the old New York World, he was as signed to "ride herd on Herbert Swope," the paper's imperious editor, and to take over the editorial page when Walter Lippmann was away. It was, he says, an impossible job, but he cherishes his years at The World more than any others in his long career. He found constant stimulation in working with such World staffers as Heywood Broun, Maxwell Anderson and Franklin P. Adams. "Never," he writes, "was a more...
