Values Matter Most By
Ben J. Wattenberg Free Press, 426 pages, $25
Review excerpt:
Because of its Washington focus, Mr. Wattenberg's book--despite its many valuable insights--has almost nothing to say about the final flowering of the "America is guilty" ideology: multiculturalism. Lynne V. Cheney fills this gap nicely with Telling the Truth (Simon & Schuster, 255 pages, $23), as good an overview of multiculturalism and political correctness as anyone has yet produced. The depressing tale of the rapid spread of this aggressive orthodoxy has been told many times before, mostly with a sense of its free-lance zaniness.
Ben J. Wattenberg and Lynne V. Cheney are senior fellows at AEI.
