"If there were any justice in the world, Mac Donald would be knee-deep in Pulitzer Prizes and National Magazine Awards for her pioneering work." --David Brooks, The Weekly Standard "A startlingly valuable book, whether you lean left or right." --Michael Pakenham, Baltimore Sun "Spirited, stimulating, eloquent.The Burden of Bad Ideas is social, cultural, and political criticism of the first order." --Jonathan Yardley, The Review of Higher Education "Among discussions of urban malaise, where so much hot air has been recycled, this book has the freshness of a stiff, changing breeze." --Allen D. Boyer, The New York Times "Insightful, articulate, provocative, and most importantly, valid." --Richard Lamm, The Wall Street Journal "Mac Donald is the indispensable journalist.
if you question that characterization, you havenÃt read her work." --GEORGE WILL, Washington Post.
