Home Is Where the Heart Is

Home Place, by William S. White. Houghton Mifflin, $4.00

William S. White, syndicated columnist and author, is a good journalist and a friend of many of the nation’s notables. He is also the victim of the journalistic equivalent of the academic community’s “publish or perish” rule. In this, his fifth book, White attempts to tell “the story of the House of Representatives.” As one who came to the House as a page at the tender age of fifteen, I can say that the place White calls “Home Place” is no place like the home I have known for the past twelve years. Nor is his book the place for those who want to learn the “story” of the U.S. House of Representatives.
