I am watching "Booknotes" on C-SPAN right now. Michael Mandelbaum is on, with his book "Ideas that Conquered the World." He is Yale, Cambridge, Harvard PHD. Here is a NYT review of it.

A well done review that leaves me completely uninterested in reading the book. Patrick Tyler is supposed to be one of Howell Raines' rising stars. And he appears to have done a fine critical review of the book. But the combination of the summary of the argument and the review suggests one should spend one's time elsewhere.

Thanks for putting it up, Bill.
