...Your devastating review of Giacomo Joyce [Jan. 19] recalls my own "quarrel" with this document a few months ago, after a one-page facsimile from it, with a dramatic account of its discovery, appeared on the front page of the New York Times. I read the article and telephoned the writer to tell him that in my opinion the script was definitely not that of James Joyce. I have handled scores of letters and manuscripts by Joyce, but not a single one looked anything like the facsimile reproduced in the New York Times...
...combination novel of manners, tract against sexual relations, and confession. On the surface, there is nothing in The Kreutzer Sonata to link Tolstoy and Pozdnyshev, the protagonist.

...Lawyer Clayton, a Democrat who supported Ike, had never shown any signs of dissatisfaction with the Southern way of life. Quite the opposite. "I lived in the era when Plessy v. Ferguson, separate but equal, was the law of the land," he says now. I had no quarrel with it." Indeed, he had so little quarrel with Mississippi ways that he rose to command one of the state's National Guard divisions (which was totally segregated), ranked as a major general when he was retired two years...
