1st, this writer is fiercely independent. This is not our 1st encounter with this scrupiously sourced & noted book...especially when measured vs. Others in it's genre on any facet of the discussion. If there are any cherries picked, then Alterman got the whole of the world's crop and transparently invited all to partake! Few today amass so much integrity in service of curbing the unconscious human tendency toward bias. We must avoid trampling the good in a rush to snatch the poorly identified perfect?
