One of the most gripping images from the 1960s captures the slight figure of Dr. S. I. Hayakawa scrambling onto a sound truck parked in front of San Francisco State College amid campus unrest. Hayakawa had hoped to use this soapbox to address the assembled demonstrators, but instead he ended up ripping out speaker wires and halting an illegal campus demonstrationor denying firstamendment rights to the crowd, depending on your perspective. Indeed, Hayakawas entire life defies simplistic labels, and his ability to be categorized largely depends on personal perspective.This intimate and detailed biography draws on interviews with friends and family members, as well as Hayakawas own papers and journals, to bring this controversial and fascinating figure to life. He was an enigma to colleagues as well as adversaries, a Republican senator who consistently bucked his partys ideals with his support of the womens movement, abortion rights, and even Ronald Reagans search for a female running mate. The son of Japanese immigrants, born and raised in Canada before moving to the United States, Hayakawa emerges here as a complex and complicated figure. His blend of heritage, politics, artistic inclination, and intellectual achievement makes him quintessentially American.Visit the author's Web site for bibliographic notes.
