...commentary. His narrative often wanders into reminiscences that seem trivial. But precisely for these reasons, Born on the Fourth of July succeeds and is memorable. An intimate and convincing portrait of Kovic emerges: we permit him his autobiographical indulgences as well as his justified outrage. This serves to continually remind us that he is a real man choked with sincere anguish, longing to be heard, and not a literary fiction.

I begin comparing the little innocuous pet rocks I know with the famed pickhandles and what I had heard about them when Young interrupted my thoughts to remind me once again that there was nothing symbolic about the pickhandle. "He never actually wielded a pickhandle, now did he?" Young asks. "You ever seen a picture of that?" I had to confess that I hadn't, although I did remember a photo of Maddox wielding a gun when chasing...
