Title: Rather the Death of Principled Outrage
Review: It seems to be an impressive skill, the ability to fulminate so mightily at a man who takes more than the normal liberties with language to mask a personal indescretion- bet skip so lightly past those whose denials of knowledge or culpability are directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans.I refer, of course, to Tobacco Industry executives.A former academic such as he should have been capable of a much more nuanced treatment of the subject. Selective outrage? image-centered outrage?, Motherhood-and-Apple-Pie Outrage?, fin-de-siecle outrage? That assumes of course that he really intended to treat the issue in a genuinely ethical -rather that political- light.
Is the review positive or negative?
