Its outline shows clearly against the backdrop of our own populist racism, in what is still the unreconstructed North."--Village Voice"An outstanding piece of social, economic, and political history, suggesting the benefi

It does give some glimpse into Diller's Jewish background and childhood, as well as, the vulgar and occasionally violent way he assaults his employees. This book is great to read to children, as well as to have children read while baking the recipe together! What could be more delightful than creating something fun and nummy with your loved ones? I'm planning "Goody O'Grumpity" baking parties for my nieces, nephews, custodians and God children. Basso is a well-written protagonist, monstrously flawed but also sympathetic, with his genius at handling money and politics contrasted against his disastrous relationships and his empty personal life. She has thought of Camden everyday. What makes this frustrating and, ultimately, unnecessary, is how closely they have attempted to make use of the actual images from the original, panel to panel. Is that a cat at the end of the line? "Oh, gee! Look at that! Now, who brought a cat? Watch out! Be careful! Oh, no! Just what we need, a doggy stampede. He has influenc
