...despite some valid insights into the realities of a welfare recipient's daily existence, reading A Welfare Mother is an excrutiatingly frustrating experience. The text ambles through external description without dropping any clues to the humanity behind the name Carmen Santana. It is written as a newspaper article, in crisp, clear, objective, unemotional prose, and from start to finish the journalistic facade never cracks...
...period after mid-1936 when he last claimed to have seen Chambers. Almost all of the personal statements Mr. Chambers made about Mr. Hiss in connection with that relationship--including some I disbelieved at the time of the American Scholar article--turned out to be quite valid.

...acutely conscious with each sentence that I write that I am, with each sentence that I write, providing ever stronger grounds for the assumption that the context in which the article was written is valid.

Och, I did not invite the rivetters in. I am reminded of Richard Nixon's political technique of discrediting opponents by, e.g., asking them to wriggle their...
