Chief and most unbelievable charac ter in this self-proclaimed "novel of the new American revolution" is Arkansas Representative Timotheus Denney, who is cast as the legislative wizard and bourbon-breathing Grand Dragon of all the sheetless Klansmen on Capitol Hill.

Timotheus' lyre and Pope's lines on Atticus do consort incongruously enough with Hudibras and Keat's urn and the other members of this cento; yet, though the poet's head as well as heart be "poor-rhyming," he vallantly says what he thinks. New wine, if strong, should not be put in old bottles, but when weak, it may gain flavor from the less...
