The first two relationships remain somewhat cloudy, from lack of material in the case of Prof. Baker, and from Mrs. Bernstein's failure to release his letters to her--she plans to edit them herself; one suspects with less than complete frankness. But Wolfe's dealings with Maxwell Perkins are explored in almost painful...
