...Schlesinger is on more dubious ground in his exploration of Mr. Nixon's personality. One must assume that the professor is not exactly an intimate friend of Dick Nixon, and that he is psychoanalyzing him through public statements--which is a questionable method of probing anyone's psyche, especially a politician's. That Nixon has no political philosophy is perhaps true, but that he is an "other-directed" man who has no sense of his identity is an interesting but dubious conclusion.

...Eliot Morison takes his place in the line of classic narrators of the American past-James F. Rhodes, John B. McMaster, George Bancroft and Edward Channing. Right after Pearl Harbor, Morison, Harvard professor of history and Pulitzer prizewinning biographer of Columbus (Admiral of the Ocean Sea), proposed to his friend Franklin Roosevelt the idea of a "full, accurate and early" history of the naval war and got the assignment himself along with a commission as a lieutenant commander on active duty...
