...hand, has the format down cold. His genius is for complicating the obvious, and as a result his books are graphically chaotic. Charts and diagrams bulge from the page. Sidebars and boxes chop the chapters into bite-size morsels. The prose buzzes with the cant phrases--empower, modeling, bonding, agent of change--without which his books would deflate like a blown tire. He uses more exclamation points than Gidget...

All the cameras could see was the crescent of senators ? among them the thoughtful, blinking Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who let slip the only clue to a witness's identity when he said "sir." The tales of malfeasance flowed like wine: One witness had "been instructed by IRS management not to conduct...
