    Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Near fine condition brown boards, navy blue spine and gold spine lettering contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Michael F. Callan; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote, Owen Wister, The Virginian; Introduction: America Is the Girl; Acknowledgments; Notes and Sources; Bibliography; Filmography; Index and A Note About the Author. Approximately three previously dog-eared pages and some very light yellow highlighted parts of sentences on approximately six pages; the volume is otherwise in fine condition (see photographs). lIllustrated with sections of black-and-white photographic plates. "The long-anticipated biography of Robert Redford. Among the most widely admired Hollywood stars of his generation, Redford has appeared onstage and on-screen, in front of and behind the camera, earning Academy, Golden Globe, and a multitude of other awards and nominations for acting, directing, and producing, and for his contributions to the arts. His Sundance Film Festival transformed the world of filmmaking; his films defined a generation. America has come to know him as the Sundance Kid, Bob Woodward, Johnny Hooker, Jay Gatsby, and Roy Hobbs. But only now, with this revelatory biography, do we see the surprising and complex man beneath the Hollywood facade. From Redford's personal papers - journals, script notes, correspondence - and hundreds of hours of taped interviews, Michael Feeney Callan brings the legendary star into focus. Here is his scattered family background and restless childhood, his rocky start in acting, the death of his son, his star-making relationship with director Sydney Pollack, the creation of Sundance, his political activism, his artistic successes and failures, and his friendships and romances. This is a candid, surprising portrait of a man whose iconic roles on-screen (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All the President's Men, The Natural) and directorial brilliance (Ordinary People, Quiz Show) have both defined and obscured one of the most celebrated, and, until now, least understood, public figures of our time." - from the inner front jacket flap. Booher, Jason (jacket design); Estate of Stanley Tretick (jacket front photograph) (ilustrador).

    Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First Printing [Stated]. 192 pages. Index. Ex-library marking on fep and verso. Elizabeth Drew's 1979 book Senator is a behind-the-scenes journalistic profile of U.S. Senator John C. Culver (D-Iowa). Through tracking Culver for ten days on Capitol Hill and in Iowa, the book captures the exhausting pace, legislative process, and political negotiations involved in day-to-day Senate life. Elizabeth Drew is an acclaimed American political journalist and author, best known for her coverage of Washington, D.C. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1935, she served as the Washington correspondent for The Atlantic and The New Yorker, and is widely recognized for her authoritative books chronicling the Nixon and Clinton impeachments. She was Washington correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly (19671973) and The New Yorker (19731992). She hosted her own interview program, Thirty Minutes With. for PBS between 1971 and 1973, for which she won an Alfred I. duPontColumbia University Award. Drew was a panelist for Meet the Press for many years and made frequent appearances on the PBS News Hour and other radio and television programs. Drew was a panelist for the first debate in the 1976 U.S. Presidential election, and moderated the debate between the Democratic candidates for the nomination in the 1984 race. Drew has published 14 books, including Washington Journal: The Events of 1973-74, an account of the Watergate scandal; Portrait of an Election: The 1980 Presidential Campaign; On the Edge: The Clinton Presidency, Citizen McCain, George W. Bush's Washington, and Richard M. Nixon. John Chester Culver (August 8, 1932 December 26, 2018) was an American politician, writer, and lawyer who was elected to both the United States House of Representatives (19651975) and United States Senate (19751981) from Iowa. He was a member of the Democratic Party. He served in the military as a captain in the United States Marine Corps from 1955 to 1958. Culver became active in politics, working as a legislative assistant for Senator Ted Kennedy, his former Harvard classmate, in 1962. He began his law practice in Iowa a year later. In 1964, he ran against Republican U.S. Representative James E. Bromwell. With President Lyndon B. Johnson's landslide victory, many Democrats, including Culver, were carried to victory. In 1974, Culver ran for the U.S. Senate, narrowly defeating David M. Stanley with 52% of the vote for the seat left open by the retirement of Harold E. Hughes. Culver served one term in the U.S. Senate, from 1975 until 1981. With Ronald Reagan's national victory as president, Culver was defeated in 1980 by Republican Chuck Grassley, taking 46% of the vote to Grassley's 53%. In 2000, Culver co-wrote American Dreamer, the first comprehensive biography of Henry A. Wallace. Culver was a featured speaker at the August 28, 2009, memorial service for Ted Kennedy, speaking as his Harvard classmate and teammate, Senate colleague, and longtime friend. Derived from a Kirkus review: When Elizabeth Drew unveiled John C. Culver, Democrat of Iowa, in The New Yorker last year, he was next to unknown nationwide; yet she called him "one of the most effective members of the Senate." Culver, 46, is a big, expansive man, quick to laugh or show anger; a highly intelligent, thorough, principled political operative. Leadership, he tells Drew, is pursuing objectives, however "uncomfortable" or unsexy. He takes on only a limited number of issues, "ones that make an important point. . . and on which he has a reasonable chance of winning." During the ten days Drew spends with him he is very much involved in managing his first major bill, an amendment to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 providing for arbitration in ease of conflicts between environmentalists and builders. As a supporter of SALT and a critic of nuclear "deterrence," he is angling for the release of an intelligence report on Russian civil defense: do they feel that they can safely lunch a nuclear war or do they simply "have their signs in t.

    Condición: Very good. 1st Edition. Dust Jacket ONLY. The format is approximately 21 inches by 9.25 inches. The dust jacket is price clipped and has slight wear and soiling. Franklyn Curran "Lyn" Nofziger (June 8, 1924 - March 27, 2006) was an American journalist, conservative Republican political consultant and author. He served as press secretary in Ronald Reagan's administration as Governor of California, and as a White House advisor during the Richard Nixon administration and again during the Reagan presidency. Nofziger's political memoir, titled Nofziger, was published in October 1992 by Regnery Publishing. From a Kirkus review: Republican Party heavyweight Nofziger's political memoir details Ronald Reagan's rise to popular President, and Nofziger's role in that rise. The most interesting passages here involve Reagan's early days in politics-his transition from president of the Screen Actors Guild to governor of California. Reagan proved almost immediately to have superb political instincts. His reliance on advisers and `macromanagement' style, according to Nofziger, were apparent from the first. As governor, he urged aides-caught up in their importance and prone to work late-to go home. Reagan is the book's overarching hero.' Nofziger has spent decades around electoral politics and the corridors of power, as a press secretary and as as assistant to the President for political affairs in the Reagan White House.' When Nofziger discusses his entanglement in the American justice system-he was cleared of lobbying charges-his bitterness knows no bounds. A partisan, sharply observed view of a fascinating political era. The dust jacket (sometimes book jacket, dust wrapper or dust cover) of a book is the detachable outer cover, usually made of paper and printed with text and illustrations. This outer cover has folded flaps that hold it to the front and back book covers; these flaps may also double as bookmarks. Dust jackets originally displayed cover information on top of a simple binding, at a time when it was not feasible to print directly onto the binding. The role of a dust jacket has been largely supplanted by modern hardcover printing technologies, which print such information directly onto the binding. Modern dust covers still serve to display promotional material and shield the book from damage. The back panel or flaps of the dust cover are printed with biographical information about the author, a summary of the book from the publisher (known as a blurb) or critical praise from celebrities or authorities in the book's subject area. The back of a dust jacket often has a barcode for retail purchase, and the book's ISBN. The information on the dust jacket often resembles that of the binding but may have additional promotions about an edition, and the information on the flaps is not typically copied onto the binding. The dust jacket protects the book covers from damage. However, since it is itself relatively fragile, and since dust jackets have practical, aesthetic, and sometimes financial value, the jacket may in turn be wrapped in another jacket, usually transparent, especially if the book is a library volume. After 1900, fashion and the economics of publishing caused book bindings to become less decorative, and it was cheaper for publishers to make the jackets more attractive. By around 1920, most of the artwork and decoration had migrated from the binding to the dust jacket, and jackets were routinely printed with multiple colors, extensive advertising and blurbs; even the underside of the jacket was now sometimes used for advertising. As dust jackets became more attractive than the bindings, more people began to keep the jackets on their books, at least until they became soiled, torn, or worn out. In 1939, Arthur Brody, a student at Columbia University, invented a film-based jacket, which is used by libraries to protect paper dust jackets. Dust jackets from the 1920s and later were often decorated in art deco styles which are highly prized by collectors. S. Stanley Tretick (Jacket photograph) (ilustrador).

    Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine condition black boards, black cloth spine, and silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote by Thomas Paine; Author's Note; Discography; Filmography; Author's Chapter Notes; Bibliography and Index. Illustrated with two sections of black-and-white photographic plates. "This is the book that Frank Sinatra tried to stop with a two-million-dollar lawsuit: the unauthorized biography of one of the most controversial yet elusive public figures of our time - a fully documented, highly detailed, and penetrating portrait of the man behind the voice. Kitty Kelley, celebrated investigative journalist and author of Jackie Oh! and Elizabeth Taylor: The Last Star, spent three years researching her subject. She has had access to never-before-published government documents, including Mafia-related material obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, wiretaps and secret testimony before crime commissions. She has interviewed more than eight hundred people who have been important in Sinatra's life - family members, colleagues, law-enforcement officers, and people never interviewed before about him - men and women who have known Sinatra in and out of the spotlight. Frank Sinatra has dominated the entertainment industry for more than fifty years. The skinny kid crooner who caused the bobby sox craze in 1942 has thickened in the middle and lost his hair, but even now, at age seventy, he continues to excite interest in his music, his life, his women, his money, his politics, and - most of all - his Mafia connections. Now, Kitty Kelley draws an unforgettable, vivid portrait of Sinatra from his earliest years: the childhood in Hoboken, New Jersey, that was far different from the one he invented; the mother he adored but seemed deeply ashamed of; his beginnings as a singer; his relationships with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey; his climb to the top as a singer then movie star, and the violence of the moodswings that followed it, leaving a trail of broken friendships and broken marriages - to Nancy Sinatra, Ava Gardner, and Mia Farrow. From the beginning, marriage didn't stop his womanizing. The list and variety of women in his life are formidable. And though he himself was no athlete, he always admired fighters - force of any kind. Sometimes his bodyguards did his beatings for him; sometimes they just held his victims while Sinatra punched. There are many who have taken his insults, threats, and even physical abuse quietly, because they fear his power and wrath. And yet there are many who can testify to his wildly lavish generosity and charitable pursuits. A complex man who plays by his own rules, Frank Sinatra still draws huge audiences wherever he performs. His influence extends even into the White House - today more than ever before. Here, in a biography filled with anecdotes and revealing behind-the-scenes accounts, Kitty Kelley gives us a non-holds-barred inside look at the man, the legend, and the life of Frank Sinatra." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Tretick, Stanley (cover photograph and author photograph); Cohen, Barbara N. (book design) (ilustrador).

    Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: fair. First Printing [Stated]. 371, [1] pages. DJ somewhat worn and soiled: small edge tears/chips. Signed by both co-authors. A taut thriller about the kidnapping of a diplomat's wife. The authors are both journalists. At the time this book was published, Marvin Kalb was the diplomatic correspondent for CBS News, and Ted Koppel was the diplomatic correspondent for ABC News, as well as the anchorman of the ABC Saturday News. Marvin Leonard Kalb (born June 9, 1930) is an American journalist. Kalb was the founding director of the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy and Edward R. Murrow Professor of Press and Public Policy from 1987 to 1999. The Shorenstein Center and the Kennedy School are part of Harvard University. He is currently a James Clark Welling Fellow at George Washington University and a member of the Atlantic Community Advisory Board. He is a guest scholar in Foreign Policy at the Brookings Institution. Kalb hosts The Kalb Report, a monthly discussion of media ethics and responsibility at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. sponsored by George Washington University. He was a news analyst for Fox News, and is a contributor to National Public Radio and America Abroad. He is currently a senior adviser at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. Edward James Martin Koppel (born February 8, 1940) is a British-born American broadcast journalist, best known as the anchor for Nightline, from the program's inception in 1980 until 2005. Since March 2016 Koppel has served as a special contributor to CBS Sunday Morning. Derived from a Kirkus review: Exchanging fact for fiction and brother Bernard for newsman Koppel, Kalb again focuses in tight on a shuttling Secretary of State, now calling him Felix Vandenberg but allowing him to resemble secretive, quippy Henry the K. in more than a few particulars. Under the scrutiny of reporters like go-getter Darius Kane of NNS, Vandenberg is trying for that Big Meeting of Minds: Israel, the Arab states, and Palestinian Safat's "OLPP." And when the OLPP kidnaps Mrs. V. in Jordan, it's really an overture--an invitation to a super-secret meeting between the Secretary and a smuggled-in Safat. The astonishingly successful meeting isn't hush-hush enough, however; the room is bugged, the leaked tape is doctored to suggest a US sell-out of Israel, and Vandenberg is saved from total disgrace only because Darius, tracking Palestinian connections in Switzerland, exposes the tape hoax. But, as negotiations progress, an even more peace-shattering secret lurks (the penetration of OLPP by Soviet and Israeli agents), and there the "national interest" and the free-press interest diverge, leading to the traditional showdown: lone-newsman vs. The Establishment. All its basic intelligence and insider details--the mechanics of TV newsbreaking are far more vividly convincing than the Behind-Closed-Doors confabs--parallels the headlines. Readers will want to get their Kalb and Koppel reports from this novel. Stanley Tretick (Photograph) (ilustrador).

    Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Fine condition black and red cloth boards with black and silver front cover and spine lettering contained in a very good condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Authors' Dedication; and List of Illustrations. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. Signed by Eleanor McGovern, with a general sentiment, with blue pen on the blank first free front endpaper. A repaired 1 1/4 inch closed tear at the lower front jacket edge left jacket edge (see photographs). All pages are in fine unmarked condition (excepting 3 formerly dog-eared page corners), and the spine/binding is exceedingly tight and square (see photographs). "This is Eleanor McGovern's very personal story - a story of a woman who has come to welcome the uphill character of daily living as a continuing process of growth. In a blend of candid memoirs and commentary, she relates the experiences that have brought her to an understanding of her own womanhood and reinforced her firm belief in the family as the center of society. Eleanor McGovern sees her life in a pattern of juxtapositions. There were both love and deprivation in her poverty stricken, mortherless childhood on an isolated South Dakota farm, where she and her sisters - one of them her idential twin - grew up during the bleak dustbowl years of the depression. In her youth and in the struggling, early years of her marriage, there came a mixture of freedom and responsibility. And later there were the alternating joyful and chaotic times as a mother and a congressional wife amid the hectic Washington scene. "Without these myriad strands," she says, "I know it would have been more difficult to accept the different drives and natures of five children, to support a gentle, questing man as he moved from teaching to the ministry to politics, and to keep something in reserve for myself." When her husband became the Democratic Presidential candidate in 1972, she broke all precedents as a campaigning wife, assuming a major part in a bitter contest that ended in historic defeat. Her often amusing, sometimes biting account of that unique experience - including her observations about the disastrous Eagleton affair, the ironies of Watergate, male chauvinism on the campaign trail, and the ambiguous and difficult role of the political wife - is a novel addition to political history. With equal frankness, she speaks of the crises and traumatic periods that she and her family have encountered over the years - problems that have their counterparts in most American homes - and of her efforts to educate herself to an understanding of their causes in the larger context of community and society. It is Eleanor McGovern's commitment to life as a journey of new beginnings that gives her story a very special appeal and significance." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Tretick, Stanley (jacket photograph) (ilustrador). Signed by Author(s).
