...photographs, some of which are interesting, but we could have done without the high-school yearbook technique of supplying "funny" captions to the pictures. There is some disadvantage to converting bi-weekly articles into a collection (only a couple of chapters were added) in that Thompson has to repeat himself sometimes. An extended interview with Rick Stearns and Dick Dougherty about convention tactics wasn't worth the 28 pages that it commanded...
