...Wolfe's brother, I feel I knew him better than anyone living. You refer to Tom's attempt to "pin down the Great American Novel" as "never getting beyond his barbaric yawp." I feel sure that hundreds of thousands and more-who have read Tom's "Promise of America" and "Credo," both in You Can't Go Home Again-would disagree. This same multitude of readers of Tom's books would also take issue with (as I do) the statement "that Tom asked more of life than he had the talent...
...Secretary told a group of university presidents that the "nation would benefit greatly by a revival of local leadership outside Government." He warned a Cleveland audience last April: "It will be a sad end to a great enterprise if the epitaph for our society turns out to read: 'All the best people bemoaned the quality of leadership, but none sought to lead.'

Both start with almost identical premises, suggested no doubt by the success of the Kinseyesque novel The Chapman Report and the Masters-Johnson scientific study Human Sexual Response...
...reasonable fashion. Lichtheim remains a philosopher (indeed that is his chief shortcoming) and he has thus been proof to the current fashion which spares itself the difficulty of replying to Marx by dismissing him as a moralist of this or that persuasion. No one who has read the Paris Manuscripts could deny that there is some truth in their charge; anyone who has glanced at 18th Brumaire or The German Ideology cannot pretend that Marxism begins and ends with an eschatology...
