Synopsis
Undeluded by the roar of what he calls "our national engines of ballyhoo, bushwah, and baloney," Russell Baker reflects on the impact that a gallery of larger-than-life characters--from William Randolph Hearst and Barry Goldwater to Joe DMaggio and Martin Luther King--have had on America and the American imagination.
