Mint condition paperback in like new condition, looks unread and unopened. 420 pages plus a 16 page index. from back of dj -- "Morse is difficult (as a subject), of course, because of his... varied accomplishments, but also... because of the virtually unreconcilable complexities and contradictions of his character... It is to Carleton Mabee's great credit, and essential to the greatness of his achievement, that he was tempted neither to excuse nor reconcile them... For the dualisms of art and science, profound conservatism and innovative creativity, aristocratic elitism and democratic populism are, after all, essential...(to) Morse's being." -- from the Introduction by Nicolai Cikovsky, Jr.
