...city is so conservative that even its gay community has a Reaganaut flavor."There are thousands of gay Republicans in this town," says one of them. "We pack some power." Dallas, with over 900,000 people, seventh biggest metropolis in the nation, is the largest city with a manager form of government.

A Writer's Ireland is, rather, a dry, thorough skimming that leaves us without the real flavor of Ireland that so strongly pervades Trevor's fiction...
...behavior and arrogance of the Reggie Jackson's and George Steinbrenner's, Cobb, over the course of his 24-season career, managed to generate enough controversy to keep a whole squadron of Dick Young's clucking away at their typewriters for years on end. And Alexander gives a good flavor of the kind of psychological forces that could produce such controversy...
