Mini design might sound like dull work-tight budgets, less room for bells and whistles-but Nakanishi says his team welcomed the challenge of coloring within the lines. "It's like baseball," he says.

...interest groups and those who oppose what they see as preferential treatment; this division can be traced back to Reconstruction; it affects all of our modern politics—over and over again. The story is good the first time, but by the tenth telling, it gets a bit dull. The book ends with an epilogue, which neatly ties up all the points made in the nine lengthy chapters that precede it and connects current feelings on the economic role of the federal government to those first expressed during the Reconstruction. Yet the eloquence of the section casts doubt...
