Reviews
Paul Simon, in another of his powerful treatises, has written the guidebook for anyone interested in the future of our democracy. It exalts the element too often missing in those who would lead us in commerce, government, the media, or even in religion and education. The element is courage — courage to follow one's conscience rather than yielding to self-serving ambition in the pursuit of personal success. He presents as well a veritable encyclopedia of our nation's most pressing problems. It is a challenging call to arms for citizen participation in solving them." —Walter Cronkite, "At a time when our native intelligence has never been under heavier assault, when the ersatz patriot and toady are in the saddle, one of our most respected public servants, Senator Paul Simon, challenges us to wake up and smell the coffee: to challenge our culture of pandering. Never has the time been more ripe for this book."-Studs Terkel "Our Culture of Panderingis a gem of a little book. It should be handy to every journalist and citizen who cares and participates in public affairs in this great country so aptly described by Paul Simon's fellow Illinoisan, Abraham Lincoln, as 'the last best hope of earth.'"-Hugh Sidey "Simon passionately believes that politicians, the media, religious leaders, and educators have, individually and collectively, abandoned their responsibility to lead. . . . In doing so, says Simon, they have made us vulnerable to future political, moral, and economic disasters."-Publishers Weekly "[Simon] contends that our leaders in politics, the media, religion, and education are guilty of pandering, of giving in to what is easy instead of fighting for what is right. . . . [H]e deftly outlines the problems, and he should be listened to." -Booklist "Retired U.S. Senator Paul Simon says we now live in a culture that panders to whatever is sexy, profitable, easy, and quick, and it's destroying our nation. These are strong words, but the maverick Illinois Democrat marshals examples from across the spectrum to back up his claims in a new book,Our Culture of Pandering."-Parade "Simon decries the pandering style that he argues has displaced standards of integrity in public service leadership not only in politics, but in the media, religion, and education as well. . . . With its wealth of policy-relevant detail, this book offers not merely coherent criticism of leadership failure, but constructive insights into the tasks and possibilities of public service. Highly recommended [for] all levels."-Choice "In too many areas we have spawned 'leadership' that does not lead, that panders to our whims rather than telling us the truth, that follows the crowd rather than challenging us, that weakens us rather than strengthening us. It is easy to go downhill, and we are now following that easy path. Pandering is not illegal, but it is immoral. It is doing the convenient when the right course demands inconvenience and courage."-Paul Simon,from the Preface, At a time when our native intelligence has never been under heavier assault, when the ersatz patriot and toady are in the saddle, one of our most respected public servants, Senator Paul Simon, challenges us to wake up and smell the coffee: to challenge our culture of pandering.
