Gladwell describes Harding’s physical appearan
“his massive shoulders and bronzed complexion gave the effect of health”. (74)
“could have put on a toga and stepped onstage in a production of Julius Caesar”
“not a particularly intelligent man” (73)
“As he rose from one political office to another, he never once distinguished himself. He was vague and ambivalent on matters of policy. His speeches were once described as ‘an army of pompous phrases moving over the landscape in search of an idea’ “ (74)
“Many people who looked at Warren Harding saw how extraordinarily handsome and distinguished looking he was and jumped to the immediate-and entirely unwarranted-conclusion that he was a man of courage and intelligence and integrity”
