THE SHORT LIST

Anecdotal in style, political in nature, Short List tells the amusing, political tale of "One-eyed Mack," the Oklahoma Lt. Governor who had his 15 minutes of fame during the 1976 Democratic convention. Lehrer's mid-Western twang and easy delivery complement this enjoyable story about the vice-presidential "short list." He provides sufficient voices for local color and diversity. In addition, the mixing of real politicians and commentators with fictional characters allows the listener to feel privy to some underlying truths. The only real flaw is presentational: the tapes have neither introduction nor any tape-turning notices. L.(H.)B. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT 92]
