- Summary
- "Here, with heart and wit and a dash of anger, Garrison Keillor describes the democratic values of the hard-working God-fearing people of Lake Wobegon and the idea of the common good - the civil compact that Republicans have been attacking for the past decade. The simple code of the Golden Rule that underlies midwestern civility. The politics of kindness. The obligation to defend the weak against the powerful."--BOOK JACKET.
