"If you liked the old Time, or Vanity Fair, or the New Yorker, you will like this delicius treatment of one of the most important historical periods.
Macaulley is a partisan, historical talk radio on brain enhancing drugs. But the framework of facts he presents are the more memorable for his Whigish spin.
