...incisively the character of a young, aggressive politician and the small Pennsylvania city in which he lives. Reichley's staccato prose is full of the broken rhythms of speech and laughter which fill the words with energy until they seem ready to burst from the page with excitement.

Such a philosophy would be contrary to the teachings of all our great religions and a contradiction of the ethics of Western society.
