The article discusses books and authors. With all its faults, and there are many, writer Ferdinand Lundberg's "America's 60 families" is a very important book. It belongs in that group of "exposure" works that have been so typically American-inadequately grounded philosophically, yet instinctively right morally because they have sprung from a passionate human and humane conviction and that have had such a profound influence on human action. What are the preoccupations of Lundberg in this big, sprawling, humorless work of his that looks and reads so much like an encyclopedic compilation?
