American Dream Stories from the Heart of Our Nation

"Earnestly slouching toward Bethlehem, P-A, The American Dream is [Rather's] attempt to outdo his NBC rival Tom Brokaw at providing Barnes & Noble skulkers with fast food for thought. Once the least affected of the big-league broadcast anchors, Brokaw hit paydirt as the eulogist of "the greatest generation," a Big Mac of a notion that he's turning into a franchise. Rather's competing Happy Meal is somewhere between McNuggets and a Whopper, with florid sauce on the side....The decaf version of a coffee-table book, THE AMERICAN DREAM is an uncanny mimicry of the way expedient exemplars now get stuck like human Post-It notes in the gallery during a State of the Union speech."Rather, Dan is the author of 'American Dream Stories from the Heart of Our Nation' with ISBN 9780060937706 and ISBN 006093770X.
