Glanzvoll schildert Woodrow Wilson, aber von etwas in seinem Unterbewußtsein selber besessen. Eine dämonische Besessenheit ist vorhanden. In seinem Unterbewußstsein ist etwas, das ihm eingibt dasjenige, was er nun hinschreibt. Der Dämon, der natürlich auf eine besondere Art in einem Amerikaner des 20.
