Agents of the Soviet tourist bureau, Russian concert singers and Big Reds of all sorts have felt they had a friend in likeable "Bill" Bullitt, and something like another friend in charming Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

His relations with women, his financial dealings, were truly abominable, but he had been brought up in a harsh school, and the sudden release to such license as the age permitted would have strained better-balanced characters than his. Taking a broad view of the mental and moral infirmities that outraged the Victorians, Authors Sitwell and Barton discover that George possessed one distinction to which Thackeray attached little importance...
