I don't particularly like John Dean, but Mr.Dean has written a riveting book about Warren G. Harding as part of Arthur Schlesinger, Jrs series entitled the "American Presidents."

Harding had quite a few achievements in his limited tenure as POTUS.

Dean makes the case that Harding was a reformist Conservative who was instrumental in creating the Bureau of the Budget which saved over a billion dollars in government outlays. Dean says that Harding's budget hawk approach set the stage for the dramatic prosperity that came to be known as the roaring twenties.

I don't buy it.

Dean must be trying to retrieve Bill Clinton's reputation.
