We Would Have Played for Nothing

Monday, March 31, 2008

As the baseball season gets underway, former MLB commissioner Fay Vincent discusses the good old days of the pre-steroids and pre-free-agency era, and what can be done to restore our faith in the national pastime. And, a new novel examines family life in suburban New Jersey. Plus, a look at John McCain’s latest strategy.


McCain Matters

While Democrats have been duking it out in the primaries, John McCain has had the luxury of adopting a general election strategy. Stephen Moore, member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board,and Mickey Edwards, former member of Congress (R-OK) and chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, take a closer look. Mickey Edwards' new book is Reclaiming Conservatism: How a Great Political Movement Got Lost - and How It Can Find Its Way Back (Oxford University Press, 2008).

Blogger and writer Debra Galant looks at the trials and tribulations of suburban life in her new novel, Fear and Yoga in New Jersey.
