Senator Thomas Dodd began his career in public service as a prosecutor at the Nuremburg trials. His son, Senator Christopher Dodd, recently discovered his mother's collection of letters his father wrote during that time. Through his father, Chris Dodd learned not only the scope of the Holocaust but also the importance of the rule of law.

I listened to over an hour of this book, and in that time the author supplies only 3 lines from 1 of his father's letters The first 75 minutes at least has nothing to do with documenting the Nuremberg trials. This book is in fact simply a justification of Democratic Party policies on the war in Iraq, and a position paper to support a run for the presidency.

PHYSICAL is the story of a hard-living, happily married, middle-aged American (the author) who gets a three-day "executive checkup" at the Mayo Clinic and is thereby forced to confront his mortality, not to mention glove-wearing doctors and the pair of dominatrix-esque technicians who supervise his stress test quite strictly. James McManus must understand his revised actuarial odds in the light of his not-so-long-lived forebears and the fact that his youngest children are only six and five years old.

Disappointing
Revisado: 02-03-06
The description of this books sounds much better than the reality. The book quickly descends into shrill ad hominem attacks against most members of the conservative ranks. Unfortunately, this means the issues most interesting to me are given short shrift. Worse yet, although the author could not have known it at the time, his counter-example of the work done in Korea on stem cells has turned out to be fraudulent. Altogether, very disappointing.
