...signs of stagnancy are noticeable in the two up-and-rising Londoners who collaborated under the pseudonym Mark Caine. Tom Maschler, 27, who thought up the S-Man, is editor in chief of the venerable publishing firm of Jonathan Cape. Frederic Raphael, who wrote most of the book, is a film and TV scriptwriter and author of a successful novel, The Limits of Love, due for April publication...

The only overt moral judgment is in the pseudonym itself, with its implication that the S-Man is his brother's killer...

There are the later duels of wills (with Pope Julius II) and skills (with Da Vinci, Bramante, Raphael). There is the unmarried Michelangelo's dutiful, lifelong support of his brothers and of a father who believed that "working with his hands" was beneath a Buonarroti's dignity. Michelangelo's possible homosexuality an iffy question for any biographer, is "skirted by Author Stone, but he fleetingly...
