...marveled, "a nice guy." In recent weeks, more and more people have come to admire Orville Freeman as a nice, hardworking, dedicated guy. Yet much of the increased respect for Freeman is like that given to a man who is drowning-bravely. As Agriculture Secretary, Freeman has the most miserable job in Washington: he must struggle with the scandalous U.S. farm program, which last year cost the taxpayers $6 billion. Freeman's feed-grain program did reduce the wheat stockpile by some 800 million...

The new Algeria, he declared, "will respect the interest of our country and provide the necessary guarantees for the community of French stock." On April 8, the voters of Metropolitan France will say yes or no to De Gaulle's solution of the Algerian problem, and he asked that the nation reply "affirmatively and massively."

Fitzgerald, according to Turnbull, loved his malingering father (who stopped earning paychecks when Scott was eleven) but did not respect him; he respected his domineering mother but found her difficult to love. At prep school he had an inordinate vanity, was given to boasting about his nonexistent athletic prowess. At Princeton, where he was remembered for his "arrow-collar head on a longshoreman's body," he was no scholar but he enjoyed the big-time competition for campus prestige, certain that his talents would be recognized. But throughout his life, there was always a Hobey Baker (Princeton...
