Note: This starts a new occasional feature on the blog. The first paragraph of any book should ideally set the tone of the book and whet the reader’s appetite. Some first paragraphs are even works of art in and of themselves. Others are more perfunctory but get the job effectively done. I’d like to thank Michael Wade who has been inspiring me for years with this feature on his wonderful blog Execupundit.
Dawn broke that day on a new epoch, one that would carry the name
of a man whose ideas and ideals would extend well into the next century.
Wilson by A. Scott Berg (New York: G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 2013)
In case you missed it, I wrote yesterday in depth about this book.
