Final post on I, Claud. I think I've nailed it!
I, Claud by Claud Cockburn - Penguin - published 1967!
Cockburn speaking of Against the Stream - pamphlets and manifestos of
Lenin and Zinoviev
p 63-4 He relays Pound's comment re the space between word and action
being less than any other writer. . .
and o mi gosh it was about Lenin!
That was fun!
But off hand comments require more work than they're worth, in the end.
