This was really interesting when I first read it in the 1960s. I guess Theodore White had trouble following how elections worked after about 1968, maybe due to all the technologies counter-intuitive to democracy that had developed.

Also, the cover and first pages make a big deal about the original book being $6.95 and now costs $0.95. If you had taken that $6 you saved and put it in a savings account, you'd have about $98.65 today, which would be a good downpayment on a Kindle.
