Sex, Power & Murder
Details the tempestuous affair between Chandra Levy and Congressman Gary Condit. Her murder scandalised America.
Actual Malice
Actual Malice is a true crime thriller that will take you through the backrooms of political gamesmanship, deception, and cover-up. If it were a novel, readers would marvel at the rich character development, riveting pace, and often-bizarre twists that make Actual Malice a compelling read. The fact that it is scrupulously documented nonfiction is sobering. If you know nothing about Gary Condit or the tragic death of Chandra Levy, there has never been a more engaging and thoughtful introduction to the sordid interplay between politicians, law enforcement, and the media. Actual Malice should be required reading for any public figure. If you followed the story of the murdered intern and the con...

Libertines
Libertines seeks to understand why public figures sometimes take extraordinary risks, sullying their good names, humiliating their families, placing themselves in legal jeopardy, and potentially destroying their political careers as they seek to gratify their sexual desires. From Hamilton to Trump and the many in between, each case of sexual misconduct in this book shows the seamy side of political lives, with calculations about covering discretions or portraying them favorably occurring only after the fact.
Artburn
The best pages from the last five years of Robbie Conal's satirical monthly column in the Los Angeles Weekly, Artburn is updated with background factoids and secret war stories about his subjects, including the likes (and dislikes) of Dubya, Dick Cheney, John Ashcroft, Rush Limbaugh, Bill, Hillary and Monica, and even Bill Gates. With production shots of the original pages, plus a dozen late-night remixes that were too hot for the Weekly to print, Artburn will set the world of politics on fire!
Spin This!
We're all familiar with the warning, "Don't believe everything you see or hear." Bill Press, the popular co-host of CNN's Crossfire, will have you wondering whether you should believe anything at all. Spin -- intentional manipulation of the truth -- is everywhere. It's in the White House, in the courtrooms, in headlines and advertising slogans. Even couples on dates -- not to mention book jackets -- are guilty of spin. Now, analyst Bill Press freeze-frames the culture of spin to investigate what exactly spin is, who does it and why, and its impact on American society as a whole. Depending upon who is doing it, spinning can mean anything from portraying a difficult situation in the best possi...
Thank God I'm Not a Republican. When Evil Struck the Twin Brothers
This book of fictitious poetry is actually two books combined in one to the advantage of the purchaser and reader. Each book was written for a different occasion and completed at a different time from the other. -- The first book comprising Part I of the combined book is a mock epic entitled, "Thank God I'm not a Republican," on the sex scandal of Bill Clinton, the 42nd US President, and Monika Lewinsky, towards the end of the second millennium. -- As for Part II, which comprises Book II of the combined Book, it is entitled, "When Evil Struck the Twin Towers," the title of which speaks for itself and portrays the author's belief and feeling that save the senseless amongst us, no one in the w...

Congressional Travels
A follow up book to his classic Home Style: House Members in their Districts, this new book by the preeminent legislative studies scholar, Dick Fenno, is intended for use in courses on Congress, political campaigning, and American government. Written in Fenno’s “homespun” story-telling style, this book argues that authenticity — knowing what a representative is like in his/her district and looking beyond mere roll call voting — contributes significantly to understanding the full body of work done by our members of Congress. It further posits, by recounting Fenno’s actual life’s work, that the best way to gain a sense of authenticity is to do what Fenno is most famous for — i.e., making multiple trips and spending a great deal of time observing representatives at home, with their constituents, in their districts. The book is an engaging, quietly provocative, and unique title that offers an alternative to what some consider the increasingly specialized and technical nature of political science
Finding Chandra
It was the mystery that gripped the nation during the summer of 2001: the sudden disappearance of Chandra Levy, a young, promising intern, and the possible involvement of Congressman Gary Condit. And then the case went cold. By 2007, satellite trucks and reporters had long since abandoned the story of the congressman and the intern in search of other news, fresh scandals. Across the country, Chandra’s parents tried to resume their daily lives, desperately hoping that someday there might be a break in the investigation. And in Washington, the old game of who’s up and who’s down played on without interruption. But Chandra Levy haunted. Six years after the young intern’s disappearance, ...
