All of this comes as no great surprise.  This is the public Knight we've known for years.

Yet this book also provides a glimpse into the real Knight, the private one we barely know.

We learn that the pivotal moment in this candidate's life occurred when he was a boy, "My life's path was set during the 3rd grade field trip when we visited a group of seniors.  I was mesmerized.  What dedication and sacrifice.  I vowed at that moment that mine would be a life devoted to public service."

But not, alas, to memorable sloganeering... The battle cry "It's other people getting rich stupid" exposes Knight as a candidate for whom substance is an elective.  And yet there she is, looming large on the American scene, a presence as assuredly white-bread as Regis Philbin.  Perhaps her candidacy, and his book, are more a reflection of America than of Knight herself.
