Politics could have been his game: with Senator Thomas Gore as his grandfather, it was in the blood. He had strong opinions, left-wing for a WASP, opposing all foreign wars, decrying the gap between rich and poor, and lamenting the growth of a “national security state” where once had stood a free republic. In 1960 he ran unsuccessfully for Congress in New York’s 29th district. After that, he sniped from the sidelines. Ronald Reagan was “a triumph of the embalmer’s art”. Of George W. Bush, he said: “Monkeys make trouble.” With William F. Buckley, his right-wing nemesis, he disputed so ferociously that, in a better age, it would have gone to pistols.
