A propos de cet article

24 cm, 430, List of Sources. Index, DJ has wear, tears, chips and soiling. Inscribed by the author on the fep. The inscription reads For Althea & Charles Who taught me the value of a good, monthly 'reality' check on life--I'm' in your debt. Sincerely &/w/affection, Jack M. Jack Mitchell was a muckraking journalist who became a federal investigator for the Senate and the Food and Drug Administration, helping to pave the way for government regulation of the tobacco industry by securing the cooperation of a key whistleblower. He joined Anderson in Washington, covering congressional issues as well as the FBI Abscam sting operation. He worked for CNN, reporting on safety standards at nuclear power plants, and in 1992 published, "Executive Privilege: Two Centuries of White House Scandals" and "How to Get Elected: An Anecdotal History of Mudslinging, Red-Baiting, Vote-Stealing and Dirty Tricks in American Politics." In 1987, Mr. Mitchell joined the Senate Governmental Affairs subcommittee on oversight of government management, where he worked as a staff member under Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.). Mr. Mitchell returned to the Senate in 2007 as chief investigator for the Special Committee on Aging and contributed to an Affordable Care Act provision known as the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which requires doctors and medical companies to disclose their financial relationships. Mr. Mitchell was also a top adviser to officials at the Health and Human Services Department, the National Science Foundation and the Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction. Chapter 4 is entitled Grant's Grabbag, Rutherfraud, and Big steve's Baby:" U.S. Grant--WIlliam McKinley March 1869--September 1901 and Chapter 5 is entitled The Era of the Muckrakers: Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft September 1902--March 1913. The index include separate sections on the Theodore Roosevelt Administration and on Theodore Roosevelt. From the padded expense accounts of George Washington to the memorable gaffes of Ronald Reagan, here is a rollicking account of the sins, slips, and peccadilloes of our chief executives. Sometimes irreverent, but never irrelevant, it chronicles the human aspects of two hundred years of presidential leadership: the trials and temptations suffered by the Founding Fathers and their successors, and the impact that their personal, medical, and sexual lives had upon the political scandals of each administration. Executive Privilege debunks myths surrounding former presidents while exposing moments of true courage during their darkest hours of power. Perhaps most importantly, our presidents are shown to be prisoners of their office and responsibilities to an extent that is rarely recognized. This is a rollercoaster ride over the bumpy landscape of presidential perks and privileges. The stories of the men and women who rose and fell along the way speak volumes to the Americans of today.…
