Abstract

A Solid Figure, Faintly Comic
Walker, Stanley | October 16, 1954 issue

The article focuses on the book "My Name Is Tom Connally," by Tom Connally. Connally's account of his life and times is a what-is-it sort of book, not easy to classify. Often it is straightforward, patently sincere, and even appealing; again it is evasive and foggy, larded tastefully with back-country jokes and the bright sayings of the inevitable Texas colored man. The result therefore is pure Tom Connally, and exceedingly valuable stuff for connoisseurs of American politics and students of the U.S. Senate.
