...from a small state. I did my work behind the scenes, and it was undramatic work." Still, in his new mood of self-assurance, Muskie finds the prospect of the presidency natural enough. "I think in the context of growth." he says. "I started at the local government level, went on to the legislature, became Governor, Senator, then a candidate for Vice President. Progression tends to build one's confidence that he can rise to the next level of responsibility...
...those weird combinations of emotions that occur if climate blends with a state of mind.

Karmel nudges the reader once or twice too often to see parallels between Restif's Revolution and those of modern times. But he has superbly proved his boast that "this is the book Restif did not write but should have." All it lacks is a modest degree of "truth in packaging...
