Required Reading On Dean (washingtonpost.com): "I strongly recommend a little paperback published by a team of reporters for the Rutland (Vt.) Herald titled 'Howard Dean: A Citizen's Guide to the Man Who Would Be President.' The publisher is Steerforth Press.
The nine contributors have covered Dean during the span of years that he held office in Vermont -- as legislator, lieutenant governor and governor. Their views are balanced -- closer to the Lou Cannon model on Reagan than any of the other examples I have cited -- and I could detect no personal bias in any of their individual chapters.
The Dean who emerges from these pages is a more complex and interesting politician than the man on the stump this past year -- less strident and in many respects more impressive. "
