Description
The author of A Ford, Not a Lincoln is in a state of cheerful despair about the
future of democracy in America. A wide-ranging discussion of the way our candidates are chosen nowadays and of the press's failure to hold them accountable. RR: "When I was covering John Lindsay, he had over five hundred people whose single function was to pump out information to make him look good--I mean that was literally the number he had, including the six who sat in the office next to him." WFB: "That couldn't have kept them very busy."
