...TIME'S article is particularly welcome to me personally. As U.S. Ambassador to Spain from 1955 to 1961, I had to cope constantly with the ignorance and prejudice, of some of our compatriots with respect to Spain's history, her customs and her prospects. There is no country geographically so near to the U.S. around which so much legend and so many myths have clustered.

A diminutive, eccentric and lisping presence on Midwest territory, whose citizens at first scarcely knew what to make of him, Capote commanded the attention and ultimately the respect of everyone he approached, including the killers. His memory stored scores of interviews, which he set down later in 6,000 pages of notes. His ear and his eye caught everything: Perry Smith's sudden confession in a police car bearing him from capture in Nevada to trial...
