Minority Report
Hitchens, Christopher | October 31, 1994 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses practical politics with reference to the book "All's Fair: Love, War, and Running for President," by James Carville and Mary Matalin. Chief thing undisclosed is the only thing that would have been worth the published price of the non-disclosures. It took a few generations, with the long battle over reform, chartism, empire and all, not to mention the struggle to combine in workingmen's associations and extend the suffrage to women, but in the end a sort of party emerged and called itself the Labor Party. Both the choice of leader and the scripting of the conference were determined for the first time by cultish adherence to Carville-Matalin principles.
