And, of course, that calls for initiative.

• [Judge and Jury] is outstanding. I have
  learned more about the history of
  baseball, true history, than from
  anything I have ever read or heard
  about. [It's] research and documentation
  clarifies so many of the personalities
  and events that took place before 'my
  time' in the game. Jacques Barzun's
  quote: 'Whoever would know the heart
  and mind of America had better learn
  baseball' should be supplanted by [this]
  biography of Landis.
