摘要

The first volume of Arthur Schlesinger's memoirs, covering the years 1917-50, was published in 2000. Reviewing it, this paper suggested that if his second volume matched his first, Mr Schlesinger would have produced the 20th-century counterpart to Henry Adams's classic autobiography of a 19th-century intellectual. But the memoir-writer died last February so that prediction cannot be tested. Instead his contemporaneous typewritten journals have now been published, abridged but not expurgated.rnThough an imperfect substitute for a reflective integrated work, the "Journals" are an indispensable source for historians— and irresistibly readable. Schlesinger worked for or advised every Democratic president and nominee since Adlai Stevenson (with the exception of Jimmy Carter). Enjoying a hyperactive social life, his eclectic circle included Isaiah Berlin, Marlene Dietrich, Arthur Koestler, Harold Pinter, Elizabeth Taylor, Gore Vidal and Mick rnJagger. Brilliant apercus, memorable quotations and titillating gossip fill his notes.rnDiscussing Richard Nixon's practice of secretly taping conversations, Schlesinger, as a person, thinks it a poor idea but as a historian regards it as a fine way to enrich the record. In a way, the "Journals" are the equivalent of uncensored tapes, revealing incidents that might have been air-brushed from the projected memoir.
