George Will est un éminent chroniqueur et journaliste américain, réputé pour sa prose érudite et ses allusions fréquentes à la philosophie politique et au baseball. Ses chroniques, qui mêlent souvent reportages factuels et commentaires conservateurs, ont largement circulé et lui ont valu un prix Pulitzer. Will est célèbre pour sa capacité à allier une profonde perspicacité politique à une voix d'auteur distinctive, s'établissant ainsi comme une figure marquante du journalisme américain.
A collection of newspaper and Newsweek essays convey Will's view of the nature of human character as he observes the behavior of humans as they pursue their goals in sports, television, childrearing, and many other public and private areas.
Will examines four of the most "professional" men in baseball today and shows that the special pleasures of the game are perfectly represented by each of them--as they approach the game with the same obsessive attention to detail as any fine craftsman.
Will argues that Congress's ability to legislate effectively is being undermined by politicians using it a vehicle for seeking re-election. Term limits, he says, would work to reverse the trend toward short-term popularity seeking and re-establish Congress as a proper deliberative chamber.
