This well known newspaper man set himself to produce a guide for young politicians and business men, a sort of pass-key to the public purse. The book's tone of quiet sarcasm is well sustained and serves as an excellent vehicle to bring home to the reader the corruption of our political system. $3.00. (From the dust jacket.)
