USA: Hyperion, Miramax Books, 2004. Paperback. used-Good condition. In “Big Russ & Me, Father and Son: Lessons of Life,” by Tim Russert (2004), the well-known America TV journalist talks about his relationship with his father, Big Russ. "The older I get, the smarter my father seems to get. Hardly a day goes by when I don't remember something that Big Russ taught me." In this warm, engaging memoir, Russert casts a fond look back to the 1950s Buffalo neighborhood of his youth. In the close-knit Irish-Catholic community where he grew up, doors were left unlocked at night; backyard ponds became makeshift ice hockey rinks in winter; and streets were commandeered as touch football fields in the fall. And he recalls the extraordinary example of his father, a WWII veteran who worked two jobs without complaint for thirty years and taught his children to appreciate the values of self-discipline, of respect, of loyalty to friends. “Big Russ and Me,” written in Russert's easygoing, straight-talking… Leer más

USA: Simon & Schuster, 1998. Hardcover. used-no dust jacket, otherwise excellent condition/None. And the Horse He Rode in On: The People vs. Kenneth Starr, published in 1998, is told from the viewpoint of author James Carville, the strategist for Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. Longtime Carville observers know that his dislike of Kenneth Starr has been brewing since Starr was appointed to the independent prosecutor's office back in 1994 by a crony of ultraconservative Senator Jesse Helms to look into alleged financial misconduct on the part of Bill and Hillary Clinton in the Whitewater case. Carville piles on the evidence for his argument that Starr, with his partisan politics and numerous conflicts of interest, should never have been let anywhere near Whitewater, let alone allowed to pry into the personal relationship that Clinton had with Monica Lewinsky in the mid-'90s. And he stands by his man, commenting, "In my mind, an indiscretion here and an indiscretion there will never amount… Leer más
