Paperback. Condición: Good. "Where were you on June 19, 1986?Thats the day when Len Bias, one of the greats of the college basketball game, a player seemingly destined for NBA stardom, died of a cocaine overdose.For the next several months, millions followed the continuing, unfolding tragedy at the University of Maryland at College Park.Six years later, where is big-time basketballthe big-money game whose vulnerabilities began to come to life with Biass death?How far has it come in reforming itself against the abuses that contributed to the Bias tragedy?In ""Lenny, Lefty, and the Chancellor,"" Baltimore Sun reporter C. Fraser Smith answers those questions through the microcosm of the University of Maryland. He demonstrates how, despite numerous obstacles, the University of Maryland has been reforming its program during the five years since Biass deathactually transforming it from sinkhole to national model.In so doing, Smith provides the first book to look at the problems of intercollegiate sports from the college presidents perspectivea point of view crucial to getting balance instilled in such programs. ""From 1929, the year the Carnegie Commission issued its report on the subject, through 1991, when the Knight Commission released its report, every analyst has said that university presidents are the ones who must solve the problems of intercollegiate athletics,"" says Smith. ""My book, more than any available, carefully analyzes what presidents [such as former UM Chancellor John Slaughter] have to work with, and what they are up against."" Reliance on the presidents, Smith concludes, ""is illusory and unrealistic.""In Lenny, Lefty, and the Chancellor, Smith gets at the central issues through three main characterseach of them extraordinary and compelling. ""Clearly, Len Bias captured the imagination of the sporting world,"" says Smith. ""People still remember where they were when they heard the seemingly impossible news that Bias, just drafted the day before by the Boston Celtics, had died. Lefty Driesell, though now at James Madison University and thus somewhat out of the national spotlight, is vividly remembered by college basketball followers nationwide as a uniquely charismatic and successful coach. Chancellor John Slaughter, a black college president, is less well-known but just as interesting. His core experience as UM chancellor was built around a dead basketball superstar and a problem-plagued college basketball program, but his story is important well beyond that, because it delves into such important areas as race relations in America today.""Fully-textured and crisply written, sober yet gripping, Lenny, Lefty, and the Chancellor is a ""people and issue"" book that brings the problems of big-time college basketball down to the understandable level of the individual. ""That,"" says Smith, ""is something you can't get from a years worth of reading dry texts and graduation statistics.""Though the book offers an insiders look at the University of Maryland, and at Maryland politics, it fits snugly into a larger and timely framework. With the Knight Commission refocusing attention on big-time basketball, the NCAA enacting new reforms pioneered at UM, and NCAA teams headed into another season, the lessons of the Len Bias tragedy at Maryland are important at the national level as well. ""University basketball,"" says Smith, ""permeates the American culture.""".…

Hardback. Condición: Good. Baltimore's "Do It Now" mayor, two-term Maryland governor, and recently elected comptroller of the treasury, William Donald Schaefer may be the most colorful character ever to play on the Free State's political stage-though competition for the honor is intense. In this wonderfully readable account, Fraser Smith explores the formative influences, backroom deals, personal relationships, quirky Baltimorisms, vicious fights, civic pride, splashes in the National Aquarium seal pool, victories, defeats, draws-everything that makes Schaefer's career colorful and that helps us to understand the man himself. A seasoned reporter who covered Schaefer's terms as mayor and governor for the Baltimore Sun, Smith takes a serious-minded but also throughly human-interest approach to his subject-a study in character and the capacity of certain people to make a difference in the story of their time and locale. In Schaefer's case, the story concerns the struggle of Baltimore to survive and, if possible, renew itself. Smith draws on a sizable body of documentary source material; his scores of interviews provide him with juicy quotation and vibrant commentary. The book includes a gallery of photos, most never before published, which recall memorable moments in Schaefer's eventful career. William Donald Schaefer: A Political Biography will fascinate Maryland voters, appeal to students of twentieth-century America, and engage anyone who loves a good story well told. "His life in politics had been vouchsafed by do gooders, club house operators, slick businessmen, and others. He managed to find the best in each of these without being a servant to any. He was a classic 1950s-style Can-Do man, a veteran of the Second World War, a holdover from the time in American life when learning from experience and respected elders was a way of life. He was a career politician who ran for office to serve-to work for people, to care about their welfare. He wanted to think of himself-and to have others think of him-as a distinguished city father, a public servant. He seemed to be the last Baltimorean to see how well he had succeeded."-from the Preface.…
