A pretty cogent example of why political satire often doesn't have a very good shelf life. Very dated, sledgehammer humour about Watergate. ( )

I was introduced to the irascible Nick von Hoffman's writing back when The New Republic was a bastion of liberal opinion, and like everyone else my age pretty much grew up with (and on) Doonesbury. The combination of the two is irresistable. ( )

this is a pleasant little book describing in a humorous fashion the very serious violation of the American
political system by the Nixon Republicans. I am surprized at the small number of members that possess a copy. It was a mainstay of liberal bookshelves for many years and was enlighted by Gary Trudeau's "Doonesbury" style cartoons. I obviously liked it. ( )
