Reviews
An already well established pattern of editorial excellence continues.
A splendid set of volumes.
An editorial accomplishment of the highest order.
I found the documents irresistible. And they were partly so because, among other virtues, they are firmly and unpretentiously literate.
Ike the man comes through colorfully... The editorial work is up to the high standards set in previous volumes. The selections are judicious and interesting.
