Congrats, Ken

Since most people who read this blog are interested in both politics and Pittsburgh (its writers included), here is a piece of good news to take us into the weekend -- Duquesne Law School Dean and Swissvale native Ken Gormley has notched another accolade for his great book "The Death of American Virtue: Clinton Vs. Starr."

Janet Maslin of the NYT has already named it one of her top 10 books of the year, and now the Washington Post has followed suit. Their article comes out Sunday but an online piece was posted today saying, "Gormley's signal contribution is his heroic evenhandedness. All but the most unregenerate partisans should deem this book fair."
