You want to throw that away?'; 11. Becoming a Paper Millionaire. 'The way you're buying that stock you sure must know something. Can you get some for me?' 12. The Beginning of the End.

The Prodigal Son Returns. LBJ said, 'Everything within me wanted to come to your aid. But they would have crucified me.'; 18. Reflections of a Political Has-Been. 'Most of the people on top in government haven't experienced serious adversity or they never would have arrived there.'; and, an Index." Bobby Baker was a small-town southern boy when he arrived in 1943 DC; but, he had a confident sense of political clout. Baker soon knew 'which senator wanted what done' almost before the senator knew himself. Senator Robert Kerr was the first instrument of Baker’s rise. He found an even more powerful connect in LBJ, and Baker rose with Johnson until no doors were closed to him. Bobby Baker's depiction of LBJ is pungent with plausible detailing of the Texan’s earthy table talk. Bobby Baker tells a unique insider’s story of the always fascinating methods and motives of power in the U.S. Congress and Washington scene. - Schlesinger and NY Times Book Review (condensed). Features a detailed ten-page index. 296 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.…
