Story on page 2
60 YEAR REFLECTION
�From the Director
We are in year three of our Strategic Plan,
developed in 2016 after months of work.
We surveyed Library patrons to gather their
feedback about what they want in their Library.
The staff and board are proud of the work that
has been accomplished. We have increased unique types of items
in the collection, added a self-checkout station for ease, adjusted
check out periods and added new spaces for our youngest patrons
in the Youth Services Department
In response to the enhanced emphasis in education for science
and math, the Library has responded with an increase in
technology programs. Some of our most popular programs have
been rooted in the maker technology. The maker movement is a
technology-based extension of DIY culture that intersects with
computer culture. This focus has coincided with our interest in
repurposing some of our space.
In 2018, the staff and board began working with Product Architecture
& Design, a firm that specializes in creating flexible library spaces.
We evaluated various options for reconfiguring our physical collection,
and have decided to repurpose the space that houses our DVD and
CD collection. We anticipate that we will see this transformation to
begin in the summer of 2019. We will be moving the Media Desk
from a somewhat hidden position to a more accessible location. This
new collaborative workspace will provide our community innovative
access to technology. We are excited to invigorate the space, and will
provide further details as plans develop.

Deerfield 1959: New Insights
At the end of 2018, the Libraiy launched a new website, The Fight to Integrate Deerfield: 60 Year Reflection (deerfieldlibrarj.org/FID).
The website documents an important and complex time in the history of Deerfield and the United States. With the website, the Library
is presenting an array of special programs and exhibits to illuminate our community’s stoiy.
This is not a new story. There were community programs on the 1959 integration crisis for the 40- and 50-year anniversaries, and it has
been part of the Deerfield schools’ curriculum for years. This 60-year reflection was inspired by receipt of new historical documents for
our archives, new revelations, and several recent and forthcoming books and projects that feature Deerfield’s integration case.
Website
The new website includes online exhibits,
interviews, discussion guides, booklists,
a timeline of events, and our historical
archives. This will serve as the online
home for our resources for years to come
so that, beyond our program series,
future generations will have access to the
materials.
Historical Archives
The preservation of our physical archives
has been an important component of our
60 year reflection project. Standout items
in the newly digitized history collection
include newspaper articles quoting
Eleanor Roosevelt and Martin Luther
King Jr., anti-integration editorials, and
items related to the formation of the pro
integration Deerfield Citizens for Human
Rights.
Exhibits
2
Temporary exhibits will feature original
primary source materials including
propaganda, protest handouts, newspaper
articles, and rare photographs on loan
from the Art Shay Archives. Exhibits
will be on display in several locations
throughout the Library for the duration
of the program series.
for the Library’s permanent collection.
The photos represent a documentary and
artistic record of the fight over integrated
housing in Deerfield.
Art Shay Photographs
Share Your Story
A generous donation from the Friends of
the Deerfield Public Libraiy has made
possible the purchase of two photographs
by longtime Deerfield resident and
world-renowned photographer, Art Shay,
We are interested in personal stories,
memories, contemporary reflections, and
physical documents related to the fight to
integrate Deerfield. If interested, email

at the Deerfield Library
n January 1, 1927 Mrs. F.W.
Russo, Librarian and Mrs. C.
Wolf, Assistant Librarian
opened the doors to Deerfield’s first
library. The library was housed in the
Deerfield Grammar School (which later
burned down) and was furnished with
700 books donated or purchased with
funds contributed by the citizens of
Deerfield. With no taxing power, the
original incorporators relied upon
donations from the community, led by

Grapes of Wrath and leads a discussion on

welcome to attend.
�What can you say in the aftermath of the World Trade
Towers? That act dwarfs, in sheer magnitude, any previ
ous catastrophe to befall America. Mere words fail. A
defining moment none of us will ever forget. In the days
and weeks that followed it was clear to me that in an
important way the terrorists had failed. Instead of divid
ing and terrorizing us, that terrible day had acted to pull
us together. The flags, the universal respect for the
police and fire departments, the calm and measured
actions of the Federal government all reinforce the unity that came to us that terri
ble September morning. Those airplane disasters were intended to cripple us,
instead they united us.
What will the long term require of us? Certainly this will not be a quick and easy
campaign against a silhouetted enemy like Desert Storm. The struggle we are
embarking on is one of shadows and stealth where the force of our weapons will
not be as important as the power of our ideals for this is a war against a mindset, a
subculture, a blooded network of disaffection and hate. An enemy banded by a
hate that has been festering for years. This is a target that will not succumb to
standing still and letting us take a shot at them. Maybe more importantly this is
not a war against a country; this is a war against vengeful individuals who hate the
U.S. History really does not supply a convenient precedent for us to benchmark.
This is all new territory, this is not Desert Storm and this is not Vietnam; it could
end up being more like the Marshall Plan.
The world has changed, and not just on September 11th. It is now clear that prior
to the World Trade Towers we Americans were unaware of the depth and breadth of
the hatred arrayed against us. Certainly there are glib parallels to our tortured
attempt in Vietnam to win the hearts and minds where we won no hearts or minds.
But that was a local conflict with local goals; any domino effect was only in our
imagination.
It is clear to us that the threat of this brand of terrorism crosses many borders,
political and economic lines; and is deep seated and widespread. That these
groups can thrive in the U.S. is a product of our open society; that they can also
thrive hidden in the former Soviet Union demonstrates the power of the hate
aligned against us. Resolution of this war will not be simple; it will be complex. It
will not be cheap but there is no choice; if we fail we could face a new dark age.
There was a Greece, a Rome, a Byzantium and a Dark Age.
Will we win this struggle is a question we all ask. I am optimistic. No other country
in the world compares to us; we are generous, compassionate, energetic,
entrepreneurial, fun loving, full of opportunity, open, and decent. We have faced
difficult challenges in the past and we will face up to this one. I have thought
about WWII, a time when I was a kid. We sat by the radio, we read the newspapers
everyday, we watched the newsreels. The war was far away. Now it is close. I
clearly remember President Roosevelt talking about the Four Freedoms and why the
war was being fought. I can still recite those freedoms: freedom of speech, free
dom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Those freedoms are
real; they still define this country.
What of our opponent? Blood, hate, politics, religion, and envy sure make
a poison soup. The heart of their values stand starkly against ours. Freedom of
speech? No such concept. Freedom of religion? Only as far as you practice their
brand of state religion. Freedom from want? Want is their universal. Freedom from
fear? Fear is the terrorist stock in trade. Unraveling this potent enemy will take
time. Will we win? You can count on it.

plenty of them to worship. Without the Soviets to loathe
we have turned against each other.
It is not hard to single out the factors that divided
us over the past thirty years: a Vietnam that hasn’t
gone away for too many; the assassinations of JFK,
Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the riots that
followed, the Democratic convention of 1968,
Watergate: the list is long. All of that was a dark pe
riod in our history; it was not the age of aquarius at all.
It was an age of betrayal and loss of innocence and
marked the beginning of the loss of national purpose.
Contined on page 2
�rian'i
continued from paget
The pain and rancor of all of that divided
us as a country. I remember Nixon’s cam
paign slogan of 1968: "Bring us together."
What irony. Today we are polarized by race,
economics, politics, religion, and an emerg
ing class system. All this in an era of great
well-being.
We are bombarded daily with negative
information about our political process and
our elected officials. Not a day goes by with
out a new scandal, wasted millions, and a
partisan Congress. As a society we have
become inured to the outrage we all once
felt. We accept rhetoric for ideas, sound bites
for knowledge, and low level political tricks
for leadership. Worst of all we allow simple
minded ideas to be passed around as legiti
mate thought. The one idea I am going to
examine is the cheap-shot of term limits
which is bandied about from all sides as an
instant cure for our political ills.
The Congress enacted presidential term
limits back in the early 1950’s as a reaction
against the four terms served by President
Roosevelt. It sounded like a good idea, and
it apparently looked good enough for legis
lators to enact it into law. But I would sug
gest it was short sighted, mean spirited, and
contributed to the litany of divisive forces that
I listed above. I don’t know if anyone was
paying attention, but all elective offices have
built-in term limits; they’re called elections.
It is easy to speculate that if Dwight
Eisenhower had been allowed to run for
president in 1960, none of the traumatic
things listed above would have even hap
pened.
Don’t scoff. Ike had great acceptance and
performance ratings from the American pub
lic; he had really mastered the job by 1960
and was widely respected. He also told us
two things that were ignored when he left
office: beware of the military-industrial com
plex and avoid a land war in Asia at all costs.
So it follows logically that there would have
been no Vietnam, no assassinations, no ri
ots, no Watergate, no deficit, and no disillu
sionment. The ideas of equality, opportunity
and fair play were ignored. We threw a great
president out of office. By accepting cheap
rhetoric without examining the conse
quences we reaped a whirlwind we pay for
everyday, with no end in sight.
The books I am recommending this
month are negative choices, but very reveal
ing of our political process. Both have been
on the best seller list; one is a badly written
book with a dubious premise and odd con
clusions, the other a well written book cov
ering an unsavory series of incidents. If you
harbor thoughts that Robert Bork should be
a Supreme Court Justice, read his Slouch
ing Toward Gomorrah and if you think Bill
and Hillary rule with clean hands, read
James B. 9tewart’s Blood Sport.

A Message From Judy Haddad,
Director of Youth Services
I recently returned from a month long sojourn
in Israel. I came back to America gladly and
gratefully. You might be thinking I was happy
to be back because I missed my
family or I didn’t want to be
blown up in a terrorist attack.
Well, you would be wrong. •
What made me feel that we are I
|ucky t0 iive jn the United
States, especially north suburban
Illinois, is the quality of the libraries. There is
just no comparison between the quality of ma
terials and services you find in the North Sub
urban Library System libraries and anywhere
in the world. Rich or poor, big or small, the
libraries in Israel just couldn’t cut it. In many
libraries in Israel, you wont find a children’s
section at all, much less one with such a variety
of puzzles, cassettes, cd’s, computers, or even
books. However, Israel has something that
Deerfield doesn’t—warm beaches.

My father used to bring home stray cats, and I
think he used the same process to choose his
friends. He brought home a cat that only had a
stump for a tail. Forever called “Tailless,” a car ac
cident had deprived him of his tail and no end of
vets could heal that stub right. The second cat
“Meowser’s" ears had been frozen off, leaving only
a hint that they should have been there in the first
place. We felt sorry for them, but we loved them
because they were great cats.
My Dad’s friends fit right in there with those cats.
Librarian in Hie Lobby
I have no clear idea what my Dad saw in those guys.
Now entering a fourth year, our suc
cessful Librarian in the Lobby offers
the opportunity for patrons to meet

to and follow through on patron
suggestions, when feasible. Librar

Wednesday evenings from 7:309 p.m. December 6, January 3 and
February 7.
They weren’t fishing pals, or drinking buddies. They
had no other common linkage except they were all
as poorly equipped to cope with life as the cats.
Some of them even had frozen off appendages
One specimen had thirteen junked Corvairs and
nine operating motorcyles.
I could but I won’t name names. There was the
guy with fifteen dogs, who we called “Doggie.”

�Librarian's DOSli (contined from page 1)
was the fisherman who could call up wild fish
that lived by the end of his dock, the root beer
bottler whose homemade soda “you opened
outside and caught it in a pail across the yard,"
there was the cheesemaker with the long raft
of floating oil drums that featured rocking
chairs for the fishermen, the car mechanic who
did dentistry. I don’t think he felt sorry for them,
though a lot of other people did, and I don’t
think he loved them all like we did the stray
cats. I do know he thought they were “color
ful" to use his own word.
What those friends came down to was
simple. Acceptance. Don't judge anyone by
what you see on the outside, friends are
friends, who you know are your friends, you
stick up for your friends whoever they are, and
friends don't judge friends. Also, rural Minne
sota did not give you many choices, though
among his group there was an All-American
basketball player, a WWII Marine Corps fighter
Ace, the best pheasant hunter in Washington
County, a sheriff, a priest, a guy covered com
pletely with naval tattoos and a Carnegie LifeSaving Gold Medal winner. They were differ
ent but never boring.
I chose my friends a lot differently, and I
have a far less interesting group to talk to than
my Dad did. I am afraid that this is endemic to
suburban life. Everyone I know is responsible,
has all his body parts, works for a living, has
college degrees, speaks perfect English in
complete sentences, and has straight teeth.
Having been back to Minnesota nine times in
the last two years has really made me wonder
who Garrison Keillor talks about when he de
scribes Minnesota, because I don't meet the
old-time characters there anymore than I do
here. However, it is a serious mistake to think
everyone is “just like us."
The book I am recommending this month
is In Confidence by Anatoly Dobrynin. As So
viet Foreign Minister he was a participant in
most of the Cold War's great confrontations.
Dobrynin knew all the international players
from Khrushchev to Reagan and sheds a clear
light on all the events that shaped our time.
The Bay of Pigs, Vietnam and Star Wars are
all illuminated by a distinctly different perspec
tive than we ever got from our newspapers or
television Duped by his own government
about the missiles in Cuba, cajoled by LBJ to
end the Vietnam war in 1965, Dobrynin was
at the center of crucial world events for over
thirty years and he has a lot to say about all of
it. I think we can learn a lot from these former
Cold Warriors that they learned the hard, hard
way, and that we should never forget.

There are still a few patrons who ask,
“Where’s the fiction?” Others have already
discovered the newly restructured space on
the lower level of the library and the large
new elevator that provides direct access to
the 3,600 square foot room.
The fiction room now houses the en
tire fiction collection of 23,331 volumes
including all large print, mysteries, science
fiction and an expanded paperback collec
tion. The room meets the architect, staff,
library board and publics expectations of
being a quiet, restful, dignified, informal
area with excellent lighting. The room was
dedicated to Thomas E. Parfitt on Sunday,
September 17. Mr. Parfitt, Library Board
President for 20 years, gave his thanks and
appreciation to the large audience.
Bridget Lamont, Director of the Illlinois
State Library was an honored guest at the
dedication. Ms. Lamont commended the
unique use of existing space provided at no
extra cost to taxpayers. She also praised the
fact that a longtime library trustee was so
honored.
We thank Deerfield Bakery, Swansons
Blossom Shop, Bob Close, Hel’s Kitchen
and the Deerfield Garden Club for their
contributions to our successful event.

Fall 1993 saw the installation of the library’s
handicapped accessible front doors and the
addition of an outside video drop for pa
tron convenience.
Now a major priority for the library
board is efficient renovation of main floor
space which formerly housed the fiction
collection. It is possible that the fireplace
and current periodicals will be moved to
the former fiction area providing a pleas
ant reading space in a more peaceful lo
cation. This would increase shelf space
for the nonfiction collection and busi
ness room.
The Deerfield Public Library has received
an official document of Senate Recogni
tion from the Illinois Senate of the 89th
Assembly in recognition of outstanding
service to the community.
Our local author and Deerfield neigh
bor Lowell Komie has received the
prestigious Carl Sandburg Award for fic
tion for his The Lawyer's Chamber and
Other Stories from the Friends of the Chi
cago Public Library.

Remodeling Begins
NATIONAL LIBRARY
WEEK SPECIAL
T
he library is embarking on a
major remodeling project to in
crease space for the fiction col
lection. Lower level space now used
for offices, meeting room and boardroom will be merged with the down
stairs lobby to provide an additional
25% floor space, and 20% increased
shelfspace. In response to patron re
quests, the remodeling will provide
a quiet, spacious, reading area to
browse new books, read and consult
the Reader Services Librarian,

Business forecasting has always been done
in five- year increments. With the acceleration
of technology that threshold is now two or three
years, with many unforeseen changes skewing
the balance. We are now five years from the 21 st
century and the question is what the new cen
tury will hold for all of us. The mood of society
today—in spite of our economic well being—
seems to be that wherever it is we are, is not
where we want to be, and we are not comfort
able about it. I see change coming in areas be
yond our control: working women, age of the
population, Russia and computers.
Simple demographics tell us that the
workforce will be primarily female in 2001. That
clearly means no return to the 1950’s mom-athome image we hear touted as “traditional fam

into the workplace and it is questionable if she
will ever return to apron and kitchen. Demograph
ics also tell us that our population is aging sig
nificantly. I read that by 2010 we will have 50,000
citizens over 100 years old when we now have
less than 5,000. A majority of our citizens will be
over 50 years of age in 2010. Families will change.

“Thousands of people are having
online affairs and these sometimes
spill over into their real lives. I be
lieve this is the beginning of a cul
ture change in our society and will
alter our future attitudes!” says
Chicago author Deanna Warren who

She will present
an upbeat over
view of how to

has also published articles and

Sundays beginning May 28.
�Librarian's Desh (continued from page 1)
Can we project by looking back? Peering
back five years we see the fall of the Berlin
Wall and the disintegration of the Soviet
Union—monumental changes that no one ex
cept lunatics predicted. Certainly now the
challenge is to learn to live productively with
the strange, hybrid society that was spawned
and nurtured in the Soviet hothouse. This is
a major challenge not to be taken lightly—as
elemental as water, land and air. The hatreds
forged on the anvil of the Cold War must give
way if both former rival superpowers are to
regenerate themselves.
Computers and software use have qua
drupled in the past five years, with the hot
companies and monoliths alike responding to
market-driven pressures that have drastically
altered the computers and the corporate cli
mate. Correspondingly we have seen a sharp
acceleration in science and medicine.
Supercomputers, like the Cray, will lead to
profound discovery in all fields of research.
Fine. Now we have the INTERNET which has
had and will continue to have a tremendous
impact on society. Until now. computers have
just counted, sorted and analyzed data—but
with cyberspace and INTERNET we are ask
ing computers to assume the basic human
social function of communication. The great
and frightening line in Kubrick's 2001 was.
"Oh. this is so exciting" when in fact the lives
of 2001 scientists were bland as mush and
as dull as gruel. Cyberspace has the poten
tial to be more deadening than television,
more corrosive to the spirit than drugs.
Most creative ideas come from the fertile
minds of one person; real genius does not flow
from committees and focus groups. We are
now to believe that the creative process is
going to be altered by networks and shared
data. To visualize and conceive an idea is the
hard part; a committee can talk anything to
death. This is not to say I want to return to the
era of Victorian engineering—elegant drawings
and mathematics done in script by pen and
ink—but I doubt that creative thought itself is
in transition and we delude ourselves if we al
low an electronic servant to become cultural
master and destroyer. Virtual reality....what's
wrong with reality?
Distance is well known to lend enchant
ment. Along those lines, we hope you will en
joy the Will Rogers program the Library is co
sponsoring with the Deerfield Area Historical
Society on March 29 at 7;30 p.m. No com

To use the catalog to best advan

an introductory class with Judith
Hortin, Head of Reference at any
of the following times:
Thursday, December I, 7 p.m.
Saturday, December 10,11 a.m.
Wednesday, December 14,10 a.m.
My first Boy Scout Handbook had a pic

Dynix At
Your Service!
Our “mascot” butler welcomes you
to the new Dynix computer sys
tem. We officially went online with
our new system on November 1
and patron reactions are positive!
The colorful new screens replace
our “old” GEAC computer catalog
and circulation system which
served us well for almost 10 years.
(We eliminated our card catalog 6
years ago.)
The faster, more powerful sys
tem continues to be in a consor
tium with Skokie, Morton Grove
and Waukegan Libraries. The
Dynix system is very “user
friendly” and flexible, with
- wider access promised
in the future. This
should include
access to numer
ous periodical indexes, community
resource File, gateways to remote
databases and access to Internet.
We anticipate a smooth adjust
ment and appreciate your patience
in accepting and becoming com
fortable with the new system.
What a man Teddy Ballgame was—a real
hero to all of us kids. The last .400 hitter. In
modern life, all of our shared experiences
come from the media. I didn't know Ted
Williams, I just thought I did. That basic con
tradiction gives dimension to our difficulty in
separating fact from fiction. We have all just

We would appreciate your signing

always, librarians are happy to
assist you in using the catalog.
watched Ken Burns’ nine-installment baseball
TV series tell us that baseball is the perfect
metaphor for American life. That the game
reflects us for good or ill, and that baseball
could only be an American game. A charm
ing TV series but a flawed theory.
Reflecting on the 1994 baseball strike that
ruined the best season in- years—the only one
in ninety with no World Series—I could be
inclined to agree with Burns, only in reverse.
Baseball as a perfect metaphor for American
life: grasping, greedy, selfish men lacking in any
semblance of culture, with no knowledge of his
tory. Those who grab mopey without regard for
others, the eventual outcome of a project, or
even how it looks to the outside world. That

these base instincts are the fibre and
substance of American life is something I
do not believe. Americans at our worst,
not our best, ruined the season of 1994.
After twenty-one years of providing
library service to Deerfield residents in a
real- life not a fictional setting, I have
found Deerfield residents to be none of
the above. In contrast, I have seen that
their hearts and minds are in the right
place. 12,700 cardholders in a village of
17,000 tells me this is a community of
readers, intellectually alert, aware of poli
tics, socially concerned, involved with our
kids, and philosophical in outlook. Social
projects, caring about others, and a long
view of history characterizes the people I
know in this town. Is Deerfield a micro
cosm of the rest of the country? I think
so. Is that a metaphor that would ruin the
baseball season of 1994? I think not.
But it has also been my experience
that events in our lives, large and small,
are often shaped by what is worst, not
what is best, for us. Mean- spiritedness
and disparity often come to the fore and
win out in decision making. Wronghead
edness often shouts down reason and
important decisions can be based on
caprice and whim, and only our hindsight
is perfect. Maybe the men who ruined the
1994 season did mean well but by a mis
guided attempt achieved something
nobody wanted. That everyone could sit

of. A group of anti-intellecutal, small-mind
ed nobodies with a lot of money wrecked
the season and we all yawned. It is said
that humor is the only trait that separates
man from the rest of the animal kingdom
and that it protects us from catastrophe.
Sometimes it’s hard to laugh.
The book I am recommending this
month is The Lawyer’s Chambers by
Lowell Komie. This collection of short sto
ries is Lowell's third book and I recom
mend it highly. If you haven't read Lowell
Komie you are missing one of the best of
today's writers. Mr. Komie is not just a
good writer, or a talented one, Lowell is a
great writer whose stories touch at the
heart of all of us. Lowell writes in a very
difficult genre to master—the short story;
when he succeeds, which is often, he
rewards us all with his art.

1984 has arrived ten years late and it is
being hailed as the dawn of a new day. What I
am concerned about is the advent of political
correctness. How this has happened, and how
it has been passively accepted defy my imagi
nation. Maybe the past thirty years have inured
us to accept the unacceptable. It has been a
rough thirty years—Viet Nam, Watergate,
Irangate, the Persian War, stagflation, reces
-ll
well as the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

Donald P. Van Arsdale has been
selected to fill the unexpired one
year Library Board term vacated by
retiring Rosemary Sazonoff. Van
Arsdale is Executive Director of
The Winnetka Community House.
A graduate of Western Illinois
University, he was formerly em
ployed by area park districts and
has served on several non profit
boards. He said, “I’m happy to
serve the people of Deerfield in
this wonderful library and hope to
contribute my many years of pub

Mary and daughter Karen have
lived in Deerfield since 1990.

When I was a teenager I was an insatiable

abilty to move me in time and place and
put me directly into the story being told.
What stands out about all the reading was
my free choice and access to read any
thing I wanted. Free choice is what makes
us Americans.
Can kids make those same free
choices today when they want to read or
even watch TV? I hope so, but I don’t
know for how long. Political correctness is
a fundamental challenge to the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights that
could block access to information, stymie
free inquiry, hamper the right to receive
information, stop freedom of the press. It
has already deeply damaged freedom of
speech. College campuses across the
U.S. have become deeply attached to pc;
in fact, many of them employ the equiva
lent of thought police to insure doctrinal
purity. My problem is whose doctrine,
whose purity? In the condescending clam
our to do good and be nice, are we throw
ing away our crucial civil rights?
My own professional organization,
the American Library Association,
embraces and advocates politically cor
rect speech and thought. Their new ortho
doxy is placing them far from many librari
ans who still believe in the Bill of Rights.
By no means do I want to return to an era
of racial, religious, sexist and gender slurs
and epithets. But I reject the prison of polit
ical correctness as an even more danger
ous social evil. It reminds me all too much
of my neighbor from the Soviet Union chill
ingly dismissing her father's tenure in the
Siberian Gulag as the result of "merely not
being correct with government." Let's hope
I turn out to be wrong when I sa$< 1984 has
come ten years late.Has anyone read
Orwell's 1984 lately?.
The books I am recommending this
month are all nonfiction and cover a wide
field of experience. The Roosevelts by Peter
Collier. Leading With My Heart by Virginia
Kelley. Life of the Party by Chris Ogden,
and finally Land Where the Blues Began by
Alan Lomax. Like Bill Clinton or not, you
can't help but like his mother and her can
dor. Alan Lomax has chronicled American
music for most of this century and knows
the themes and rhythm of blues music like
no one else. Pamela Digby Churchill
Hayward Harriman was indeed the "life of
the party" and knew all the rich and power
ful on both sides of the Atlantic for the past
fifty years. (And married most of them!) The
Roosevelts is a fine essay on money, poli
tics. power and arguably the most important
political family in U.S. history.
