...thinning grey hair is worn at ordinary, not Claghorn, length, and he shuns the string tie and the diamond stickpin. Taciturn and humorless, he has neither the gift nor the inclination for the vivid rhetorical attacks on opponents that were the stock in trade of such old masters as South Carolina's Ben Tillman, who won the voters' hearts by announcing his determination to go to Washington and plunge a pitchfork into the rump of President Grover Cleveland.

Gulley Jimson, the rascally painter of The Horse's Mouth, bore the knowing brush strokes of Gary's three-year try at being an artist in turn-of-the-century Paris and Edinburgh. In Mr. Johnson, still the best novel written about modern Africa, Gary drew on his tours of duty as an officer in British West Africa during and after World War I. In A House of Children, written...
