Some Mixed Wires
I don't know who Jon Land is, but this is not a review of his book. This is a review of Labyrinth, by Taylor Branch. I guess the wires somewhere got switched around. Sorry folks... In any event, Labyrinth is the story of the assassination in Washington, DC, of ...

Arcadia Publishing, 2006
