When the old "Walrus" was wheezing with asthma last year, the President invented a device for pepping up the air breathed by the Dictator in his suburban Belvidere Palace.

Author Carroll's sympathies are conservative; the "few foolish ones" of her title refer to the dwindling minority who remain stubbornly loyal to the old U. S. traditions. She compares them to birds whose love of home overcomes their fear of winter. Like As the Earth Turns, A Few Foolish Ones is a quiet and well-told tale of the second rank...
