The tragic thing is that without a big picture, we lack context on where we are as a country, and where we are going.

Russ Baker is an investigative journalist and founder of the nonprofit reporting website whowhatwhy.com. His latest book, "Family of Secrets: the Bush Dynasty, the Powerful Forces That Put It in the White House, and What Their Influence Means for America," now available in hardcover, will be published in paperback this fall. Gore Vidal calls it "one of the most important books of the past ten years."
This looks like a must read.
