From Private Thompson in trouble with the air force, to the devastating portrait
of the ageing Muhammad Ali. Taking in the Kentucky Derby, Freak Power in the Ro
ckies, Nixon in '68, McGovern in '72, Fear and Loathing at the Watergate, Jimmy
Carter and the Great Leap of Faith -- and much more. An indispensable compendium
of decadence, depravity and horse-sense.
