Review Quotes:
"Adds up to far more than just a restrospective slideshow of the 'American Century'. . . . Taken individually, the essays are often prescient or witty . . . . Taken as a whole, they sculpt a model of journalistic sophistication." - Publishers Weekly
"This collection amply testifies to [The New Republic's] intellectual heft. . . . A rich anthology." - Kirkus
"A sparkling anthology. . . . Scintillating reading. . . . A rich volume full of penetrating insights into this country and-for better or worse-its liberal tradition." - Booklist (starred review)
