...This intellectual approach would not be quite so distressing if students were also exposed to more nontraditional ideologies or exhorted to critique the "great thinkers." For example, in many courses dealing with international relations, Harvard offers little critique of American patriotism or nationalism, and issues such as America's neo-imperialism and often brutal treatment of Third World nations are not even acknowledged. Many of these courses, with their slavish insistence on American righteousness and their presumptions of American exceptionalism, should probably be offered not in the government or history departments but instead as part of the Folklore and Mythology...

The novel works as a kind of Venality Fair--it's a shade better than pretty good--mainly because even the author's minor characters--sleazy black gang bangers and brain-fried white neo-Nazis--are expertly sketched. And the two detectives are well drawn, without much Butch-and-Sundance romanticizing. They like and respect each other, yet there is a gulf between them that is not race prejudice but simply an unbridgeably different racial experience. Ellis, who's black, puts his career...
