Description
In 'Let's Kill Dick and Jane' the author gives a historical, yet personal, portrait from the beginning of Open Court Publishing Company through all the financial and cultural travails and its sale in 1966 to McGraw-Hill. It shows how a company of idealistic pragmatists can chip away at the edifice of mediocrity that has become American education.
