Even his fans admit that he is a pedestrian writer, a precise but prosaic documentarian. What makes Snow fascinating to many readers is his subject-the infighting that goes on along "the corridors of power," and the sort of cold, uncivil war that rages between what Snow labels the Two Cultures-traditional and scientific...
