Rather, it came about as an inevitable consequence of a mindset for projecting Dr. Laurel in the right context – World War 2. Did this indicate that everything that could be known about Dr. Laurel had already been made known? I don’t suppose any other biography of Dr. Laurel can pretend to surpass “in depth and breadth and height” Days of Courage. The facts of Dr. Laurel’s life do not come out as mere enumeration of data but as living scenes performed by partakers in each depicted historical episode. Only in Dr. Laurel’s death does wife Paciencia feel she really ever gets to own him.
