...Soviet spaceship Luna 10 was busily recording and reporting man's first continuous supply of data about the lunar environment. Though the Russians did not tell all they learned, the information they did release confirmed that their distant capsule was carrying out its fact-finding mission with singular success...
...trilogy took Waugh at least ten years to complete, not principally for literary reasons. After 1948 and the splash success of The Loved One, his travesty on the California way of death, he progressively withdrew from the 20th century.

With such success enveloping him, Robbins feels that he can afford to snipe genially at some fellow writers who have enjoyed loftier reputations. Norman Mailer, he says, lost his knack "because he ran into his belly." And as for Truman Capote: "He'd be all right if he took his finger...
