Gossip and Reflections on The Island World
A collage of social vignettes and political musings. It recounts encounters with Ford and an old South immigrant at an oil station, passages on diplomacy and violence, a soldier’s jokes, a hot NY hotel confrontation, and a long stream of anecdotes. It closes with reflections on fashion, art, crime, travel, and Taft’s history stance.
