...supported Dwight Eisenhower in 1956. Haynsworth has never run for office himself, prefers to work for "the man I feel is best qualified for the job." His legal prose reflects the cadences of his life: measured, sedate and pellucid. His friends say that his facility with the written word is in part purposeful compensation for his tendency to stutter...

The unpublished "Dearly Beloved," a forerunner of the black-is-beautiful genre, was discovered among a collection of Fitzgerald's papers at the Princeton University Library, and is included in the first number of a schol- arly journal known as the Fitzgerald-Hemingway Annual.

...novel as Shakespeare in the history of poetry." It is not the brilliant surface and subtlety of James that attracts Greene, of course, but the underlying anguish, the "hidden books" behind "the façade of his public life." In an essay that no one else could have written, Greene claims James as a literary brother because, as Greene sees it, James also believed in the victory of evil in this world. Greene, in fact, almost succeeds in a posthumous conversion of the Old Master to Rome...
