Description

An ordinary story about an ordinary human life, a little bit sad, a little bit funny. Once upon a time, long ago, in an American family--one of those which are called respectable--there lived, grew up, studied, and was educated a loyal and honest little boy named Harry. He was, most likely, somewhat talented, diligent in his studies, and well-mannered. In short, he was a typical boy, with no particular distinctions and in no way outstanding among his peers. As concerns his honesty at that time, I am willing to bet anything that little Harry was, in this regard, irreproachable. I am absolutely convinced that he never stole a single pen from a classmate's pencil box; that, after making some small purchase, he never--without the permission of his mother--took a single cent from the change they gave him in the store. He, undoubtedly, was a trustworthy and, possibly, exemplary boy.

But life continued on and, in time, as is natural, Harry turned into a youth, and then into a resourceful young man understanding the value of a dollar, and gradually he came to be Mister Salisbury, a relatively well-known journalist appearing on the pages of the no less well known American newspaper "The New York Times".

Little Harry does not interest me. For me as a writer, his life is not a find. I'm not Mark Twain, and Harry, of course, is not Tom Sawyer. But today's Mr. Salisbury does interest me, from a purely psychological point of view, and only because my creative work interests him--however, not from a psychological or artistic point of view, but from a purely political one.
