Negative Positive
Title: An Olympian life
Review: Those who seek a captivating 20C journey need look no further. One travels from the author's Canadian roots through academia (OAC, UC Berkeley, Cambridge, Princeton, Harvard), public service (farm policy, the New Deal, the wartime Office of Price Administration, the US Strategic Bombing Survey in Germany and Japan, Indian Ambassadorship), politics (FDR, Truman, Ike, JFK, LBJ, Vietnam opposition, McGovern, Nixon), and influential authorship. Each candid chapter is a pleasure.Galbraith, as always, is consistently sagacious. Like his friend George W. Ball Jr (`The Past Has Another Pattern,' Norton 1982), he's a welcome contrast to subsequent public servants who use their experience to amass personal fortunes by promoting special interests.Highly recommended.
