ing two odestions First-Who is it who
knows enough of Washington society and
politics to write so unhesitatingly about
them and second has the writer drawn
from models or just imagined his people?

book who bear resemblance to men prom

handsome 50 engaging and with such
gift of oratory. and Senator Bicknen, the
s--~at ho~e from the middle western state
who wields such despotic power. Anyone
