Abstract

Minority Report
Hitchens, Christopher | July 11, 1994 issue

add to cart   close window

The "Agenda," by Bob Woodward, is among the great good-bad books of the past decade. Even its title is replete with the splendidly anodyne discourse of Washington, where people really do talk about defining agendas and addressing concerns. Woodward himself is a conservative Republican, so he naturally keeps stumbling across "ironies" that do not exist. Anyway, Woodward's view is that there needs to be a bridge of writing between the "information cycle" provided by the daily, news, and the "insider memoirs" that appear decades later.
