Three if you count Waldron.
It's odd, Jim. I met and socialized with Winslow on many occasions and found him to be a charming, erudite, mordantly funny guy. In other words, I liked him. Still do.
Yet personal feelings aside, I have problems with his Florida work and with his close relationship to Hemming.
Perhaps you've experienced this sort of disconnect -- getting to know someone who, absent that personal knowledge, you would have no hesitation in judging harshly if the facts warranted such a judgement, but who you hesitate to be harsh with due to the positive nature of your acquaintance.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
