When someone from your alma mater writes a book about someone who makes history from another of your alma maters, you have to get it--that's destiny. Years later, nothing really strikes me from reading it. I do remember that I liked the book enough to keep it and I was thinking of re-reading it in light of the Obama candidacy.
