Wilson himself has a lackluster media presence. This has not always hurt him in California, where hard-plugging, middle-class suburbanites feel he is one of them.

So anxious was Barnard, the intelligence chief, about the meeting that seconds before the two men were to shake hands, he knelt down to fix Mandela's clumsily tied shoes. (Prisoners were forbidden shoelaces, and Mandela was long out of the habit of tying them...
