Robin, you've convinced me that Marlowe deserves some acknowledgement
for his warmer response to the blacks he encounters, compared to Moose
the contrast seems clear. But I'm still not convinced he would have
welcomed a mixed-race President (and I understand you're not arguing
that, no intention to put words in your mouth). His way with women and
homosexuals reminds me of some of the worst aspects of various people
I've known from that generation, and I'm happy that we now have our
own set of prejudices and issues and personal limitations and
shortcomings and faults to deal with, I was tired of theirs a long
time ago.
