He certainly had his moments. Who could dislike a guy who rightly perceived Americans as, fundamently, a pack of pious frauds? As I posted to the list some five years ago: "Thought I'd share this nugget concerning Rudyard Kipling's view of the US from a Kipling bio I'm reading: 'In his autobiography Kipling admitted he "never got over the wonder of a people [Americans] who, having extirpated the aboriginals of their continent more completely than any modern race had ever done, honestly believed they were a godly little New England community, setting examples to brutal mankind." ' "
