Men against Myths: The Progressive Response. By Fred Greenbaum. (Westport: Praeger, 2000. 223 pp. $67.50, ISBN 0-275-96888-X.)

Fred Greenbaum's examination of six Progressive politicians is, like the men he describes, a mixed bag. The six are the Nebraska senator George Norris, a "pragmatic" politician; the Idaho senator William E. Borah, who defended "the wisdom of our [Founding] Fathers"; the California senator Hiram Johnson, an "isolationist"; William Gibbs McAdoo, a "business promoter as politician," who was Woodrow Wilson's treasury secretary and, in the 1930s, a one-term California senator; New York's Bainbridge Colby, a "conservative as progressive," who served briefly as Wilson's secretary of state; and the Colorado senator Edward P. Costigan, an "urban progressive." . . .
