Then
you
blame
it
on
the
press
?
"
"
Absolutely
.
Look
at
you
;
you
're
on
The
New
Democracy
,
considered
the
most
brilliant
weekly
in
the
country
,
read
by
the
men
who
do
things
and
all
that
.
What
's
your
business
?
Why
,
to
be
as
clever
,
as
interesting
,
and
as
brilliantly
cynical
as
possible
about
every
man
,
doctrine
,
book
,
or
policy
that
is
assigned
you
to
deal
with
.
The
more
strong
lights
,
the
more
spiritual
scandal
you
can
throw
on
the
matter
,
the
more
money
they
pay
you
,
the
more
the
people
buy
the
issue
.
You
,
Tom
d'Invilliers
,
a
blighted
Shelley
,
changing
,
shifting
,
clever
,
unscrupulous
,
represent
the
critical
consciousness
of
the
race
--
Oh
,
do
n't
protest
,
I
know
the
stuff
.
I
used
to
write
book
reviews
in
college
;
I
considered
it
rare
sport
to
refer
to
the
latest
honest
,
conscientious
effort
to
propound
a
theory
or
a
remedy
as
a
'
welcome
addition
to
our
light
summer
reading
.
'
Come
on
now
,
admit
it
.
"
Tom
laughed
,
and
Amory
continued
triumphantly
.
"
We
want
to
believe
.
Young
students
try
to
believe
in
older
authors
,
constituents
try
to
believe
in
their
Congressmen
,
countries
try
to
believe
in
their
statesmen
,
but
they
ca
n't
.
Too
many
voices
,
too
much
scattered
,
illogical
,
ill-considered
criticism
.
It
's
worse
in
the
case
of
newspapers
.
Any
rich
,
unprogressive
old
party
with
that
particularly
grasping
,
acquisitive
form
of
mentality
known
as
financial
genius
can
own
a
paper
that
is
the
intellectual
meat
and
drink
of
thousands
of
tired
,
hurried
men
,
men
too
involved
in
the
business
of
modern
living
to
swallow
anything
but
predigested
food
.
For
two
cents
the
voter
buys
his
politics
,
prejudices
,
and
philosophy
.
A
year
later
there
is
a
new
political
ring
or
a
change
in
the
paper
's
ownership
,
consequence
:
more
confusion
,
more
contradiction
,
a
sudden
inrush
of
new
ideas
,
their
tempering
,
their
distillation
,
the
reaction
against
them
--
"
He
paused
only
to
get
his
breath
.
"
And
that
is
why
I
have
sworn
not
to
put
pen
to
paper
until
my
ideas
either
clarify
or
depart
entirely
;
I
have
quite
enough
sins
on
my
soul
without
putting
dangerous
,
shallow
epigrams
into
people
's
heads
;
I
might
cause
a
poor
,
inoffensive
capitalist
to
have
a
vulgar
liaison
with
a
bomb
,
or
get
some
innocent
little
Bolshevik
tangled
up
with
a
machine-gun
bullet
--
"
Tom
was
growing
restless
under
this
lampooning
of
his
connection
with
The
New
Democracy
.
"
What
's
all
this
got
to
do
with
your
being
bored
?
"
Amory
considered
that
it
had
much
to
do
with
it
.
"
How
'll
I
fit
in
?
"
he
demanded
.
