LYING IN WAIT?

What an utterly mean-spirited review of John Gardner’s “On Leadership” (Book Review, Jan. 7) by John H. Taylor. Who selects these reviewers and who chooses what they are to review?

It almost appears as if (Richard) Nixon’s (aide) Taylor was lying in wait for Common Cause’s Gardner to settle old scores.

But please , not in the Book Review.
