Among the key opponents in this town-splitting controversy are School Superintendent Fred C. Nus and Housewife Elberta Gilderbloom, a former teacher whom Nus once turned down for a job. Mrs. Gilderbloom ran for the school board, won, and last fall helped elect two ultraconservative members, including one who says he sympathizes with the John Birch Society.

In conclusion he writes, "The only way to assure good presidential decisions is to elect and support good presidents;" from his unique experience Sorensen should be able to do a lot better than that. A book that could have been fascinating, succeeds only in tantalizing and frustrating the reader...
