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.
