"Two-Four-Six-Eight...Cheerleaders, roll over and die!" the merciless would-be minstrels bellow. But after all, these are Harvard students we're talking about.

...shouting to the legions of believers--your boy wonder was worse than just style without substance, he was style on top of sludge; not a great public leader, but a great public exploiter. The book is not a balanced or objective "analysis" of the Kennedy phenomenon. It is a merciless debunking of the Kennedy myth, fueled by intense indignation against every sucker who swallowed...
