'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's depiction of LBJ is pungent with plausible detailing of the Texan's earthy table talk. Baker collaborates with Larry L. King for a unique insider's story of the always fascinating methods and motives of power in the U.S. Congress and Washington scene. From front flap summarized: "Possibly no one alive is better able than Bobby Baker to provide a candid view of the often sordid, sometimes noble, always fascinating ways of power in the United States Congress. Now he is able and willing to tell. Baker was a small-town southern boy, but had a strong sense of political clout. And he was a 'doer,' who knew which senator wanted what done - whether a pitcher of water or a cover story, while the senator worked his pleasure or nursed a hangover in one of the many secret rooms on Capitol Hill. Baker was, at times, Senator Kerr's bagman (one who transports goods or cash; and/or collects extortion and then delivers to a more senior member; or e.g., a lawyer that collects funds to bribe a judge.) If the Senator Kerr, one of the richest, most powerful, and venal figures wanted to pass a bill, Bobby was available to carry a stuffed envelope to the senator whose vote would carry the day. Since Kerr never had less than 5 grand (50 grand in 2020) in his pocket, it came as no surprise to Baker that Kerr had at his death an unaccounted 2 million (20 mill today) in his office safe. This militant tee-totaler, gluttonous eater, and vicious card shark was the most powerful man in the Senate, and the first instrument of Bobby Baker's rise. Once at the top, Baker prospered, finding a new and even more powerful sponsor in Lyndon Johnson. LBJ said of Bobby: "He is the first person I talk to in the morning and the last one at night.' Baker rose with LBJ until no doors were closed to him. Baker tells of Clark Clifford, Abe Fortas, Senators Joe McCarthy and Eugene McCarthy, Smathers, Humphrey Dirksen. And of the three presidents he knew well: Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson. Here is official Washington, a city both wise and foolish, of the profane and the womanizers, drinkers, honest workers and thieves, and dedicated servants to the nation. There is much shocking and stimulating detail here, but the importance of Baker's story lies less in the exposure than in the nature of how power is used and accumulated. During these years of Mr. Baker's ascendancy, Larry L. King was was administrative assistant to two Texas congressmen, an experience that left him uniquely qualified to collaborate with Baker on this book. In his long and successful writing career, King has been contributing editor of Harper's, Visiting Ferris Professor of Journalism at Princeton, Nieman Fellow at Harvard, and a Duke Fellow of Communications at Duke. He writes a column for the New York Times Magazine. His book of 1975, Confessions of a White Racist was nominated for the National Book Award and he wrote the screenplay for 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.'" It has also been suggested that Baker was intertwined (as liaison) with The Organization connected to Thane Eugene Cesar. This chara.
