Parting with Illusions. - book reviews

National Review, March 5, 1990 by Troy Bourbon

THE SOVIET television commentator, who grew up here but was programmed there, wept when he thought he'd never be able to come "home" to America, land of Guthrie, Dylan, and Baez. First, though, to Paris, to his Aunt Toto's place, where he remembers her poodle, Prosper. He says, "Dog lovers are funny people." Then on to J.F.K., where Phil Donahue has a limo waiting. Then onto Phil's yacht, Mugsy, with both of them in slickers, "the wind howling, and the two of us howling right back"; two men, wet men, dedicated to bilateral humanism.

Recommended for all dog lovers.
