In earlier Administrations it might have seemed odd to tack on the name of the Vice President of the United States, who is traditionally almost an official non-person in Washington. Spiro Theodore Agnew, however, is turning the vice-presidency into something like an oratorical happening, raising the No. 2 office to a level of visibility and controversy unknown since the days of, well, Richard Nixon...

His past still troubles him so that he refuses, for instance, to read the writing of most Germans, including Grass. The present book, an odd autobiography, is chiefly a record of personal transformations, marked by an oppressive list of allegiances abandoned...
