- Summary:
- The author of "The Death of Common Sense" now traces our well-meaning effort to protect individuals through the 20th century with the unintended result that we have lost much of our individual freedom. Buttressed with scores of stories that will make readers want to collar the next self-centered jerk or hapless bureaucrat, "The Lost Art of Drawing the Line" demonstrates once again that Howard is trying to restore some sanity to the world.
