Tennessee Williams (just to start with somebody good) has endorsed, as in a television commercial, the talent of his friend Bill Inge and assured us that a play produced by Inge-art will carry us through the trivial details of everyman's day into that playpen of pain and love, the human heart, and that it will do this miraculously, suddenly droppings us at the doorstep of inner truth just when we thought that the real problem was Mama's bank account and not Mama's need for love.

Both men understate their roles in virtuoso style, whether locked in ideological...

The jerks that make this book sound hurried also give it the breathless, behind-the-scenes nature that make it so readable. There were people who felt that The Making of the President, 1960 was the best book ever written on American politics; I think it is still the best of all the mountain of writing that has been done on John Kennedy.
