However, if one reads Drury's memoirs of covering the Senate during WWII (A Senate Journal: 1943-1945, published 1963), as well as his columns from back then (Three Kids in a Cart: A Visit to Ike, and Other Diversions), it will immediately become obvious that Advise and Consent has as much to do with FDR, Senator Truman, and the scandals of that day as it does with Alger Hiss. These issues have been forgotten by later generations, but they shaped Drury as a journalist and thinker. He eventually dealt with them as a novelist.
