Perhaps more crucial, the imposing but soft-spoken first baseman helped to shore up his teammates' morale when, after slogging through some of the most miserable World Series weather in history, they fell behind Manager Earl Weaver's efficient Oriole machine, three games to one.

So Mandelbaum revives in over 200 pages a picture of American government that no longer plays even in Peoria. The Vietnam War happened for the rest of us, if not for Mandelbaum, and some of the basic ideas handed to generations of Gov. 40 veterans no longer ring true...
