Yardley is to cant, pretension, and fatuity as electric bug zappers are to summer moths....Only someone who cares...deeply for the pageant could be moved to such gorgeous indignation by its continuing failures. -- The Washington Monthly
Editorials
The Boston Sunday Globe
So tonic was it that it restored me to rude health—and, unfortunately, to a wastrel's guilt. . . . Ranging from the world of letters to the media, education, speech, sports, and politics, this book contains not one dull piece. I prescribe it as a bracing elixer for anyone who had been laid low in either body or mind.— Katherine A. Powers
