In 1982, as Mr. Barbour ran unsuccessfully against Senator John C. Stennis, an article in The New York Times quoted Mr. Barbour as chiding an aide for a racist comment by saying that if the aide made similar remarks he would be reincarnated as a watermelon and placed at the mercy of blacks.

During a debate with all the candidates vying for the RNC chairmanship, Steele told the audience that his favorite book was Tolstoy's 1869 epic "War and Peace," one of the most celebrated books ever published.

But, then he followed up his answer with a peculiar quote: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."

A wave on uneasy laughter swept across the room.

That's because his quote is the most famous line from Dickens' classic 1859 novel "A Tale of Two Cities."
