...spent most of his 84 years tugging at America's lapels, beseeching it to share his vision of better things. Goad and gadfly to his country's conscience, he espoused a variety of socialism that was questioning rather than doctrinaire, Christian rather than Marxist, democratic rather than totalitarian. Much of what he sought in social welfare legislation was eventually adopted by those who once recoiled from his proposals. "The ultimate token of approval," he said with rueful satisfaction, "is that the Democrats and Republicans have stolen my thunder." Son of a Presbyterian minister, valedictorian of Princeton...

After, of course, they had replaced the civilian regime that they had ousted with one more to their taste. Increasingly, the more recent military leaders do not share that retiring attitude.

...combined an almost Faustian flair for enterprise with a Teutonic dedication to efficiency. Like his descendants, too, he showed the strain of contrariness and in bred eccentricity that helps make Manchester's series of family portraits a gallery of near-grotesques. Alfred ranted against "speculators, stock-exchange Jews, share swindlers and similar parasites"; then he borrowed from the banker Salomon Oppenheim to meet his payroll. Paranoiacally fearful of Socialist tendencies among his workers, he hired an agent to inspect even the "used toilet paper" for seditious notes. He also located his office above a stable so that he could...
