...think that Restic ought to be commended for the job he did this year, a so-called "rebuilding year." But as is the privilege of the revisionist, I can't help but wonder that if he had only used...

Roberts makes no attempt to analyze The Post's rise to journalistic greatness, and his strictly chronological approach to the paper's history may disappoint those who wonder what it means for society that in 40 years a bankrupt newspaper may grow to successfuly challenge the authority of a too-powerful President.

In the new book, there is "undr, " a single word meaning wonder, which is an ancient tribe's entire body of literature. The Book of Sand is an other expression of this hyperidealism. A collector acquires a clothbound octavo volume bearing the title "Holy Writ." But he can never find the same place twice...
