<p>Thanks, Eamon. Thanks Ger. I may take you up on that.</p>

<p>Jim, I appreciate this eloquent, thoughtful appraisal. Let us know if you'd like a book to review, and we'll chase after it for you.</p>

<p>Thank you Mr. Curley,</p>
<p>Scott Turow was quite critical on much of the book. I like Nathan Ward's approach in "Dark Harbor." Seems strange to me to have fake names for O'Dwyer, and to have his brother investigate him? Well, that probably wouldn't happen. </p>
<p>Nice review though!</p>

The line at the end of the sixth paragraph should read, "In 1957, New York had three major league teams; a year later, just one."<br />

All the Giants and Dodgers fans still in mourning realize that.
