After some hundreds of pages of Edmund Morris's "Colonel
Roosevelt" (it's impossible to tell just how many on this stupid
Kindle) we come to the inevitable denouement. *Teddy has died and been
buried.

Morris says, "Given the poignancy of his sufferings over the last
year, a considerable minority of Roosevelt-haters elected to keep
their opinions private for the time being. *Even H.L. Mencken reserved
fire. *'The man was a liar, a braggart, a bully, and a fraud,' he
wrote a friend. *'But let us not speak evil of the dead.'"

Nearly stupefying.

Cluelessness on a scale hitherto encountered only here, in these
pages.....or sardonic wit worthy of Twain, Wilde
or.....yes.....Mencken.

Either way, nearly stupefying. * * * *
