Books on a possible future president by John Leonard
Orville Schell admires Jerry Brown while J D Lorenz is critical. The two books total nearly 600 pages and probe Brown’s ambitions, character, and policy stance while contrasting their authors’ views on style versus substance. Brown’s flirtations with power, sexuality, and philosophy are weighed against Lorenz and Schell’s differing judgments and narrative tones.
