New political tone in America

[victor steinbok]

Thanks!

The book seems to be fairly rare--NYPL has it, but the entire local library
network here (Boston suburban network, including a number of colleges, but
not the BPL) has not a single copy. In fact, Worldcat shows copies at BU and
at Fitchburg, but the next closest are Bridgewater, CT, and New York State.
Usually, there are multiple copies in MA.
