...that neither of the men with whom he was accused of conspiring to kill President Kennedy happens to be alive. Lee Harvey Oswald, of course, was murdered in Dallas two days after Kennedy was assassinated; the other alleged conspirator, a homosexual pilot named David Ferrie, died of a brain hemorrhage two years ago. With little fear of contradiction" (except from Shaw), the state trained its prosecution on trying to connect the defendant with both men, particularly New Orleans-based Ferrie.

He acknowledges the existence of problems and flounderings, but they all seem to succumb to his analytic brain. In addition, he appears to know just where he stands: "I am neither a satirist nor a cheerleader," he says with cool assurance. "I am strictly an observer." An honorable position honestly stated, it should quiet those critics who want an Auchincloss novel to be more than a well-crafted, highly...
