...Administration had been promising for months that this year would at last bring an end to the nation's chronic balance-of-payments deficit. Last week that prospect virtually vanished-a victim of the rising cost of the Viet Nam war and, strange as it seems, surging prosperity at home...
Novel it is not, but it is a novel autobiography. The author is not the victim of an unsatisfactory love affair with his own personality: he takes himself for granted and spends his space telling about other people, places and ideas. And what people!

As for the miscast Mr. Preston, we are reminded with his every movement what a great musical comedy performer he is. Unfortunately, the depressing influence of the Literary has dimmed the euphoria with which he used to light into all those trombones. Nowadays, he resembled...
