Managing Mailer is a work about
a minor politician written by a man who
is going to be a major reporter. Flaherty
treats a dozen delicate egos like golf
balls and then proceeds to see how far
he can whap them. I wouldn’t mind if I
could ban this book (since I am one of
those egos) but since I can’t, I may as
well leap on the bandwagon. If every
major politician in America had a campaign
manager who wrote about his
campaign like my man Joe, America
would be out of its pollution.
