...Visitor. Frank Jackson, who came to see him at 5:30 that afternoon, was not, he thought, one of these agents. Though Frank Jackson was suspected in Mexico City of being a shady character known as Leon Jacome, as Leon Haikys, as Jacques Mornard van den Dreschd and sometimes simply as el tipo Judio Frances (the French-Jewish type), Trotsky knew him as an admiring young disciple who contributed generously to the Fourth International. Six months before, Jackson had been brought to him by a Manhattan social worker named Silvia Ageloff, whose sister was once Trotsky's secretary. Jackson...
...dresses and cloaks of their predecessors. Buxom Sister Lillian makes fine chairs. Frail, nearly toothless Elderess Sarah Collins, 85, putters among her souvenirs, cackles affably, with many a "yea" and "nay," makes and sells braided rugs.

...alive. An old man, for years unofficially sainted, he is ceaselessly tortured and tempted still. On that day, through the eyes of a child he tries to raise from the dead, Satan stares at him. On the evening of that day a priest, a callow doctor and a distinguished visitor try to find him. The visitor is a dead ringer for the archfoe of all that M. Bernanos holds valuable: Anatole France. By the bloodstains of self-mortification on the priest's bedroom wall, by the silent stone odors of his church, Anatole himself is beguiled to an impotent...
