...major spokesman for populism today, in addition to Senator McGovern, are Jeff Greenfield and Jack Newfield. They have produced a statement--A Populist Manifesto--which outlines most of the positions McGovern articulated early in his campaign. The book includes a set of policy prescriptions, but it fails to deal with the two key issues directly related to race-welfare and busing. McGovern has suffered from a similar inability to develop solid positions on these issues...

The Manifesto argues that reform is possible only if poor...
...Reporter Robert Sherrill, in the 1960s, drew attention to the continued existence of widespread hunger and even starvation in the U.S., popular myth to the contrary. New Left publications like Ramparts wage a kind of holy war on authority generally, though they are often inaccurate. Skeptics like Jack Newfield and David Halberstam have savaged public policies and the reputations of those who make them...
...earlier biography, Jack Newfield's Robert Kennedy: A Memoir, is without doubt the best of the Kennedy books; in comparison to it, On His Own seems especially vacuous. Newfield does not try to defend Kennedy's mistakes, but rather makes them understandable-and forgivable-within the context of his character. Writing largely from his personal contact with Kennedy, Newfield succeeds in developing a comprehensive view of him and his political development. His Robert Kennedy is outstanding. There is no reason to read On His Own: RFK 1964-68 in addition...
