But just what was it the people out there feared and hated so much? Not surely the candidate. He was a decent man. Or was that it?'"

As 'Tom Fool' endures an epic campaigning tour of thirty-one states - assisted (or dogged) by his political advisor... "'Yes, it was a crusade.

After one such set-to Charlie finds himself wishing men were gods, so to be spared the banality of life's cyclical little dramas. But he knows not of what he speaks or...

With "Old Acquaintance" (1962) David Stacton embarked upon his third literary triptych, this one on the theme of 'The Sexes'.
