The New Season: A Spectator’s Guide to the 1988 Election, by George F. Will (Simon and Schuster, 223 pp., $17.95)

The New Season is not George Will’s magnum opus, but it is a very clever piece of work, one that even the most wizened observer of the political scene can read with pleasure. Not a home run, to be sure, but a solid single, and his fans should give a heartfelt cheer.
