Visions and Nightmares: America after Reagan, by Robert Lekachman (Macmillan, 316 pp., $19.95)

‘It has been a long time since I have read a book that so shook me up and stirred me up as much as Robert Lekachman’s Visions and Nightmares,” says Robert Heilbroner in a dust-jacket blurb. From which I gather that Professor Heilbroner isn’t exactly living in the fast lane these days. The other blurbs, from John Kenneth Galbraith and Irving Howe, suggest that the publisher couldn’t get responses from any prospective blurbist under seventy.
