A propos de cet article

Stated at title page: "Copyright 1967 by Bee-Line Books, Inc." Light cover, edge wear, rub. Dynamic '60s pictorial cover design with red for sale tag hung around the Capitol dome. Pages near fine, clean; no writing. Large photo plate section at center of the players, played and honey pots. Likely publisher's date stamp to top edge: "Jul 30 1967." Bind intact, square; bind adhesive has become brittle and starting. Scarce first and only printing. Edward K. Nellor exposes the scandalous truth about Bobby Baker's influence peddling and blackmail in the District of Columbia. Nellor dares to lift the veil of secrecy surrounding the nefarious activity. This book dares to reveal - for the first time - the low doings in high places in our nation's capital! Robert G. Baker, Senator Thomas Dodd, Representative Adam Clayton Powell - what do these men have in common? Bobby Baker and Senator Dodd were both associated with Capitol Hill lobbyists who parlayed a fast draw on the wallet and some shady cloakroom dealings into sizable returns. Baker and Congressman Powell both had private secretaries who were beauty contest winners - Carole Tyler (Miss Tennessee) and Corrine Huff (Miss Ohio) respectively. Powell and Dodd both spent public funds freely on globe trotting tours that were supposedly Congressional business, but were really luxurious vacations. What they all ended up sharing was . trouble! Power corrupts the politial sages remind us, and the stench of bribery and corruption in the wind off the Potomac show that thie old adage is truer than ever! "Washington's Wheeler Dealers" offers a detailed and factual study that candidly analyzes the future of DC politics. Nellor, noted Washington DC newsman, dares to ask question: How do unscrupulous influencers of this variety affect America's congressional descions and morals of our nation? 192 pages. Insured post. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.…
