Presidential Failures and a
Call to Action
Woody Klein

other media outlet in America—is noble. His
pedigree as one of the nation’s top
investigative reporters could not be more
appropriate.” —Victor Navasky, publisher
emeritus and former editor, The Nation

BAT, BALL & BIBLE
Baseball and Sunday
Observance in New York
Charles DeMotte

rather, it illuminates one of the earliest
instances of a “culture war” whose effects are
still being felt today.
