...that, in any intellectual conversation, whether with writings or with other people, kindness can only lend depth and humanity. The gap in time and traditions, the obstructions to communication can be over-come by the desire to understand. The ability to be convinced depends in great measure on warm and generous feelings toward other ideas and aspirations...
Front Runner Kennedy is also drawing inevitable potshots from the rear, and a position-taking U.S. Senator pushing such hot subjects as labor reform, immigration, minimum wages, and unemployment compensation makes a target of high visibility.

He has Gabriel's own gift of the gab, a cold eye for himself, a warm heart for others, and the narrative speed of a tinker. On the whole, he also makes good his claim to "a sense of humour that would nearly cause me to burst out laughing at my own funeral, providing...
