Year after year, the trust fund lent that extra money to the Treasury's general kitty to pay for things like the Marine Corps, national parks and all those deficits during the 1980s and '90s.

No car-chase thrills here, merely the gathering of string, knotted together to lasso the perpetrator, who is the guy everyone thought it was all along. Gourevitch is more interested in context, argot and character than plot. The book is the better...
