Schmuhl . . . describes how the telegenic presidency of Ronald Reagan changed the American political scene. . . . It documents the sad way in which the electronic age, which is enhanced by smaller cameras and more sophisticated satellite equipment every year, is thinning out whatever substance was left in politics. But Schmuhl is neither preachy nor alarmist. His style is beautifully clear and enlightening. New York Daily News
