His principle model was Irving Thalberg. He was in awe of Thalberg, and it
seemed clear to me it was the kind of awe many of us tend to feel when
confronted with someone who has an approvable gift to such a high degree we
know, "I
couldn't do that!" Meantime poor FSF had a very foggy idea in mind when
he said "first class intellect".
