Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Mr. Allen’s shining service is to recall the things that have blurred equally with those that have stuck in memory. No one else does this sort of thing so well…Its basic merits are honesty, good nature, detachment without indifference, a keen eye for survival in news values. Somehow it conveys the impression of the American people telling their own story in autobiographical form.”  —New York Times
“Vividly and with great skills he marshals the men, the mountebanks, the measures, and the events of ten years of American life and causes them to march before us in orderly panathenaic procession.” —Saturday Review
“Such a meticulous performance [as Lane’s] makes one take note that the human voice adds an element of real life often elusive in such historical overviews.” —AudioFile
“A meticulous performance.” —Audiofile
