Since the Papist-Fascist issue is thus obvious and clear, it becomes more intriguing to try and extract from Claudia an answer to the still hotly debated question of whether Benito Mussolini is a turncoat politician who changed his Socialist red bandanna for a black Fascist shirt from motives of the basest opportunism. Pertinent and even damning in this connection is the fact that most Italian Socialist leaders who were friends of II Duce's youth now languish in exile or in Fascist jails. But even this fact will not deter a reader of Claudia from wondering...

Thinly disguised under the synonym Ottercove, Lord Newspaper-Magnate Beaverbrook appears in Gerhardi's new book, avowedly "pure and unmixed, except for the obvious extravaganza." But Beaver-brook's life has been so rich in extravaganza that the fictitious is not always obvious. Ottercove rides in a Winged Chariot, a comfortable limousine that darts down London streets or rises quietly into the air far above traffic and turmoil. He promises Protegé Dickon (Gerhardi himself in disguise) his greatest evening paper as wedding present, but reneges. He begets a son of Eva, whom he marries...
