Minority Report
Hitchens, Christopher | April 7, 1984 issue

add to cart   close window

When writer Laurence Barrett discovered the theft of U.S. President Jimmy Carter's official papers by the campaign committee of the presidential candidate Ronald Reagan in 1980, his employers at the journal "Time" did not think the story worth printing. Only when he included it in his book "Gambling With History" did anybody take any notice. Barrett's book bears rereading today, at a time when even intelligent people doubt present U.S. President Ronald Reagan's complicity in the latest evidence of white-collar crime.
