A BOOK FOR TODAY
A Genuinely Great Correspondence
By DONALD MINTZ

phors are not metaphysics"
Eoth were In essence
deeply skeptical. Yet Laski
was q reformer and Holmes
knew that Laski's extraor-
binary critical faculties were
never overwhelmed by ex-
cessive respect for Laski's
concepts and plans. And
Laski knew that Holmes liked
to pose q bit and exaggerate
somewhat his skeptical but
optimistic fatalism, particu-
larry If an epigram was at
hand.
Oddly, Laski often appears
as Holmes mentor. He sends
the Justice reading Lists as
If he were the elder mans
tutor: generally Holmes fol-
lows instructions and asks
for more.
When Holmes feels he
must disagree with some
thing Laski has published he
does so gently though firm
ly, and one senses he gen.
timely fears words that may
damage the friendship.
Holmes Forced to Stop
AS Holmes ages, he grad
ually withdraws from active
society. Laski. meanwhile, Is
swirling about in both politi-
cal and academic life, and
he entertains his friend with
superb land often somewhat
malicious) stories Of the great
and near great In virtually
every human occupation.
The last preserved letter
from Homes ends: you see
how hard I find 1t to write
my affection is unabated-
but I can no more. Please
keep on writing me-"
And LaSki writes. Not out
OF duty but out Of love. From
the first, these mems minds
met, and for page after page
they debate, criticize and
fling Greek quotations at
each other. Their hearts met
too. The friendship was as
beautiful as 1t was brilliant.
Its record is q genuinely
great correspondence.
The present reprint of the
Holmes Laski letters is
abridged. Most Of the dele
tons were MADE from Pro-
lessor Laski'S part OF the cor
respondence." Laski wrote
more than Holmes. and so as
1t now stands, each has about
equal space.
The volumes themselves
are utter horrors. The main
type is about newspaper size;
the footnote type Is barely
supermicroscopic. The out
side margins are nearly nom
existent. Apparently $2.65 Is
sacred a priori to Atheneum.
1t will not be to those who
would like to read these SUI
perb letters without swallow
ing aspirin all the while. Pub
fishers should not abuse their
patrons, and no one should
treat 20. w. H." and III. j.
L." with such disrespect.

Why did they write to each
other often, intimately and
at such length2 Outwardly,
they were so very different.
Mr.. Justice Holmes (born
in 184D. celebrated Judge. le-
gal thinker. and Boston
Brahmin; Harold Laski
(born 1899, young British
scholar, in 1916 at the bot
tom Of the academic ladder
at Harvard but soon to be-
come the star of the, London
University School of Econom-
les and q leading theoretic-
ian of the LABOR Party, a man
whose father for q time con-
sidered his grandchild illegit-
innate because his sons wife
was not Jewish.
They met in July. 1915
when Felix Frankfurter
brought Laski to Holmes
summer home In Massachu-
sets by way Of showing the
newcomer the local intellec-
tual sights.
Laski wrote q bread-and-
butter note. You teach our
generation how we may hope
to i've" he said. And at the
end: II hope I may write
sometimes and ask you ques-
tons"
Nature Of Characters
Holmes responded immedi-
ately: you may be sure that
1t was as much refreshment
to me to see you as 1t can
have been to you to come
here. As the second (there
have been three) Judge
Lowell said In a case that ]
defended when a man sued
for salvage Of q boat In
which he had sailed some
thousand miles from a sink
ing ship, AS the boat seems
to have saved him as much
as he saved the boat I think
that account stands In
equilibrio.'"
Then to talk Of books
and ideas. And so they were
off, and the friendship.
though rarely refreshed by
personal contact, lasted until
Justice Holmes death In
1895.
Each man was q magnifi-
cert causeur, wit and cpl
grammatist. Holmes: "T h e
minute q phrase becomes
current 1t becomes an
apology for not thinking ac-
curately to the end Of the
sentence" Laski "a propos

THE PASSING SCENE
EncncIing of Rockefeller Starts
By WILLIAM S. \

Party In New York State II
not really much better off.
Wagner, as the more-or-
less Democratic leader Of
New York, is the victim OF
years of furious theological
hair-splitting in q party
which largely occupies itself
with absurd inner rivalrieS
as to who can be more fool
ishly liberal" than whom.
That he himself has long
whipped up this girls-school
feuding does nothing TO
ease his problem. On the
Republican side, Rockefeller
is the victim of his own in
capacity to come to grips
with the root fact that this
is not only a very wide but
also essentially still q mod
crate to conservative
country - and that most
Of 1t lies beyond the Hud-
son River.
Since 1858, he has been
running his show as though
the interests and attitudes
Of his own part Of the East
ern Seaboard were rightly
and inevitably the interests
and attitudes of the balance
Of the Nation. This explains
his tendency to read out Of
the party as bad" Republic
cans - perhaps members Of
some sinister radical right"
- all who do not meet the
local standards Of good, or
liberal" Republicans which
he has assumed to be the
only proper norm.
Lacks Understanding
Undoubtedly he has devel-
oped q strong and informed
view Of international affairs.
Only his kindest friends,
however, could argue that he
has shown much understand
ing of national politics.
The consequences Of this
apartnesS from the Republic
canism Of the Nation gener-
ally are now becoming clear.
Rockefeller is unable to find
effective party allies outside
his own bailiwick; he has
driven away too many Of the
pros for their heretical I'M
willingness to fit his concept
Of the proper Republicanism.
He has, to be blunt, Just
about localized and liberated
himself out of business, as
the so called Democratic
leaders have done.
Thus he enters the great
test of next March in New
Hampshire against Goldwa-
ter with that most poignant
of all shortages to a politi-
cal commander - he Just
hasn't got the troops among
the pros. Goldwater, on the
other hand, has many troops,
indeed - not the least q
powerful and sitting Re-
publican Senator from New
Hampshire, Norris Cotton
who now is going to the front
for him.
Q 1858
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-09-25

the republican pr01eS-
SIGNALS now have begun the
enlightenment by which they
mean to destroy the presi-
Dental aspirations Of Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller of New
York. They intend, If posi-
BILE, to finish him off very
early $50 in the first-in-the-
Nation Republican primary
next March In New Hamp-
shire.
The odds are 8 to 1 they
will succeed. The obvious
reasons for the Governors
weakness against Senator
Barry Goldwater Of Arizona,
the present front-runner for
the COP. nomination, have
been a hundred times hashed
over: Rockefeller's divorce
and remarriage to a divorced
mother Of small children;
his untypically Republican
views, and so on.
Who's the Boss?
All these, however, are no
more important than anoth-
er reason never yet men,
toned aloud. The deep, I'M
DERIVING disability of the
Rockefeller candidacy is the
curious isolation of Rock
Teller himself-an isolation
quite matched, too, by that
of the New York Democratic
politicians - from the most
basic political realities Of the
Nation at large. The bottom
truth is that New York,
which on form ought to be
the most politically signifi-
cant State. has become, in
both parties, almost as re-
moved from the rest Of the
country as has, say, United
Nations headquarters in Man
haitian.
Not many years ago, New
York and New Workers fun
damentally ran our presiden-
tial politics, and, in the end,
the internal national politics
Of both parties.
Today, the fortunes Of the
Democratic Party in New
York have fallen so low that
it is impossible to name a
single Democratic figure with
the remotest national ap-
peal.
This is not to say that
there are not good men In
the party. 1t is to say that
the party has become a
shambles and a fiction In
terms of organized strength
and political realism. The
nearest thing to a State
wide leader, using the term
loosely, is perhaps the Mayor
Of New York City, Robert
Wagner. But Wagner in fact
is more an uneasily perched
symbol of q frantically jeal-
Gus and parochial-minded
factionalism than q leader Of
anything that could be
called an organized Demo-
cratic Party with any ma
tional savvy.
Today, the Republican

High-Rise Suburbio

60, you find a high-rise
apartment complex lust
being started, nearing COM
pletion, or somewhere in be-
tween. For the most part
they are in what were once
low-density areas, and not
only in areas Of moderate
priced homes but also In
those In the higher priced
category. Where Is 1t all
leading?
The average homeowner
moved to the suburbs to en-
Joy living in a quiet neigh
borhood with tree-shaded
streets and yards for the
children to play in, and to
avoid the hustle and hustle
Of the city. Now urbanization
is being thrust upon him and
his family. Narrow residenti-
al streets not planned to bear
such q traffic burden are
congested by this concentra-
ton Of all these people in
one spot.
The only way today's pros
pective home buyer can be
sure Of Q quiet residential
(single-family) neighborhood
is to buy in the middle Of an
older well-established section
where there Is no vacant
land whatsoever available to
be rezoned. Almost every I'M
developed tract Of any size
seems destined to be envel-
oped in this insidious en-
croa C h m emit Of high-rise
apartments.
