Dark Horses

IF the 1970s were not particularly memorable in other respects, they did have the honor of being the nation’s bicentennial decade, and thus gave rise to numerous celebrations of our origins.

Among the better recent offerings in this vein is Virginia Moore’s The Madisons (McGraw-Hill, $15), a well-researched and lucidly rendered joint biography of America’s fourth President and his indomitable lady. Mrs. Moore has given us a lively, romantic, and yet instructive look at one of our nation’s most important, but least appreciated, founders.
