Weak Endnotes
David McCullough,"Paving Over History," NYT, 10 April, is a video op-ed, in which McCullough appeals for saving the view of the Brooklyn Bridge, partly for a reason that may not have occurred to you.
Simon Baatz,"Robbers of Romance," Washington Post, 12 April, reviews Jeff Guinn's Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie And Clyde and Paul Schneider's Bonnie and Clyde: The Lives Behind the Legend.
Michiko Kakutani,"Dysfunctional in Old Vienna: Never Good Enough for Big Daddy," NYT, 9 April, reviews Alexander Waugh's The House of Wittgenstein: A Family at War.
James Rosen,"Tales from the Cult," Washington Post, 12 April, reviews Mark Rudd's Underground: My Life with SDS and the Weathermen.
Marc Fisher,"At Least They Weren't Nazis," Washington Post, 12 April, reviews Stefan Aust's Baader-Meinhof: The Inside Story of the R.A.F., Anthea Bell, trans.
Plus: Manan Ahmed's Chapati Mystery celebrates its 5th anniversary; the Florida Historical Quarterly has just published Chris Bray's first academic article,"‘Every Right to be Where She Was': The Legal Reconstruction of Black Self-Defense in Jim Crow Florida," FHQ, Winter 2009; KC Johnson's All the Way with LBJ: The 1964 Presidential Election, published earlier this year by Cambridge UP, has just been released in paperback; and Rob MacDougall has lots of good news. There's really more good news than that, but some of my colleagues are big on delayed announcements.
