Plain talk : an anthology from the leading anti-Communist magazine of the 40s by Isaac Don Levine
Here are the Suggested Rules of the Game:
1. Please play on the most recent correct post.
2 Please verify that no one else has posted while you were preparing your post.
3. The title of the book cited must have one word, at least, which is the same as a word in the previous title.
4. The repeated word in the new title must be other than an article ("a," "an," or "the").
5. The repeated word must be spelled exactly as the word was spelled in the previous title, e.g., "prune" is not the same word as "prunes," and "loyal" is not the same word as "loyalty."
6. The repeated word must be in the title as shown in a LT library listing, or on the title page of the book. A sub-title or a series name can be included if the sub-title or series name is included in the title of a LT library listing, or is printed on the title page of the book.
7. A hyphenated word is one word, not two, e.g., "thunder-clouds," and if used must be repeated in full, not in part only.
8. No repeats on current thread.
9. If you have read the book it would be informative that you so indicate and tell when you read it, if you can.
10. Try to use Touchstones. Put brackets around the title and double brackets around the author. If Touchstones don't work, try using an HTML link.

1098. The Era of Good Feelings, by George Dangerfield (read 5 Dec 1970) (Pulitzer History prize in 1953) (Bancroft Prize in 1953)
Every book I use in this game has been commented on by me. Here, for example, is my comment on this great book:
1098 The Era of Good Feelings, by George Dangerfield (read 5 Dec 1970) (Pulitzer History prize in 1953) (Bancroft Prize in 1953) The title of this book is misleading. It is really a well-written study of American history from the War of 1812 to the start of Andrew Jackson's Administration on March 4, 1829. And it is a sheer delight. Full of much I sort of knew, yet I found it fresh and enjoyable. It is a period rather neglected, but the book makes it all seem interesting and important. One certainly gets vivid pictures of Monroe, J.Q. Adams, and others. It shows the transformation from Jeffersonian democracy to Jacksonian. I shall have to read more in the field, and now seems a good time to read Schlesinger's The Age of Jackson. I liked this account of Daniel Webster before the Supreme Court: "At the end of his speech in the Dartmouth College case he had paused, apparently groping for the words that, with a characteristic economy, he had already used in a lower court. 'It is,Sir,' he faltered out at last,' as I have said, 'a small College. And yet, there are those who love it.' His voice choked with sobs, the audience reached for its handkerchiefs; and even Chief Justice Marshall began to cry." (five stars )

#90 Yes, Miobib, in 1963 I started doing occasional post-reading notes when I finished a book I found especially noteworthy. In 1969 I started doing such a note after every book I finished. And from 1944 to 1956 I kept a diary and often commented on my reading therein. So the great majority of my "reviews" are nearly contemporaneous with my reading of the book.
