He confided to his notebook that he was astonished at all the time, intensity, effort, and emotional turmoil he had poured into the business of pursuing and bedding women. For most of his life, Wilson had been a sexually frisky, not to say omnivorous lover. This seemed improbable for a man shaped like a beachball, given to drinking whole fifths of scotch, and capable of astonishing feats of free-lance erudition that made...
