There seems to be in this thread a view of TP as monolithic, as if he were incapable of change.<BR>
<BR>
What he was as a young man, what he is as an older man, how he chooses to characterize the young man from the perspective of the older, all this is in play in what is available. <BR>
<BR>
He seems to me to have moved rightward in numerous ways. He seems also to me to have grown timid, also in numerous ways.<BR>
