Up to the age of six, James Barrie lived in the shadow of his elder brother David, the golden boy of his mother's eye; and when David died in a skating accident, it was a catastrophe from which she never recovered. But she drew a measure of comfprt from the notion that her favourite son, in dying a boy, would remain a boy for ever. It was a notion that, acting on the unusually powerful imagination of her son James, would emerge thirty-three years later in the creation of Peter Pan.

U S A: Pelican/Penguin. Paperback. Pen mark to edge. Slight browning to spine. The theme that personality and circumstance dominate political life - that govenrment consists primarily of 'not measures, but men' - is the setting for the author;s compelling account of the presidencies of two of the century's most astute politicians. The author explores two tragic ironies of contemporary American politics: why John F. Kennedy, the immensely popular President, could not reach his legislative goals and why Lyndon Johnson, the consummate domestic politician, allowed his great consesus to disappear in the unpopular Vietnamese War.
