p. 525, "To the contrary, Randolph turned against Monroe, who he believed betrayed him by aligning himself with Madison." Vs. p. 528, "The best he was able to do was arrange a four-part "review" of Smith's 'Address' in the 'National Intelligencer,' probably written by Joel Barlow, whom Madison had chosen to go to France as Ambassador."
