Cleveland: The World Publishing Company, 1961. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Hardcover. 310, [8] pages. Illustrations. Note on Manuscript Collections. Notes by Chapter. Index. DJ has some wear and soiling. Endpaper discoloration. Clarence Henley “Red” Cramer was the author of eight books, including this foundational biography of Cleveland notable, Newton D. Baker, Woodrow Wilson's Secretary of War. Cramer’s 1962 biography of Newton D. Baker, the brilliant mayor of Cleveland (1912–1916), who became Woodrow Wilson’s Secretary of War, revealed that F.D.R. had phoned Baker during the deadlocked 1932 Democratic convention to offer to throw his support to him, if Baker, the darling of the Stop Roosevelt forces, really wanted the nomination. He didn’t. Baker saw the presidency, wrote Cramer, as a four-year sentence to a glorified prison “without benefit of clergy or even the mollifying ministration of a parole board.” Cramer spent the bulk of his academic career with Case Western Reserve University. This work was based on the fullest possible research among official documents and Baker's public and private papers, many of which had never been examined before. As a result, this biography offers many original and intimate insights into the course of recent American history and the men who shaped it. More
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1995. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. 191, [1] pages. Index. Signed note by Mario Cuomo on One Citycorp Center stationary laid in, machine-signed?. Note is folded in threes and some portions of the paper have minor discoloration. Note says in part "I'm sure more persuasive arguments are on the way but to be sure this important case will not be decided by default, I;ve submitted this answer." Mario Matthew Cuomo (June 15, 1932 – January 1, 2015) was an American politician of the Democratic Party. He served as the 52nd Governor of New York for three terms, from 1983 to 1994, Lieutenant Governor of New York from 1979 to 1982, and Secretary of State of New York from 1975 to 1978. Cuomo was known for his liberal views and public speeches, particularly his keynote speech address at the 1984 Democratic National Convention in which he sharply criticized the policies of the Reagan administration, saying, "Mr. President, you ought to know that this nation is more a 'Tale of Two Cities' than it is just a 'Shining City on a Hill.'" He was widely considered a potential front-runner for the Democratic nomination for President in both 1988 and 1992, though he declined to seek the nomination in both instances. His legacy as a reluctant standard-bearer for the Democrats in presidential elections led to his being dubbed "Hamlet on the Hudson." Cuomo was defeated for a fourth term as governor by George Pataki in the Republican Revolution of 1994. He subsequently retired from politics and joined New York City law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher. He is the father of current New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and anchorman Chris Cuomo. More

DJ has wear, tears, chips, soiling, and a scuff on front, Jonathan Worth Daniels (April 26, 1902 – November 6, 1981) was an American author, editor, and White House Press Secretary. For most of his life, he worked at The News & Observer, and later founded The Island Packet. Jonathan Worth Daniels was the son of Josephus Daniels and Addie Worth Bagley Daniels. When his father became United States Secretary of the Navy in 1913, the family moved to Washington, D.C.. Daniels attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and graduated in 1921 with a B.A. He continued at UNC for graduate school, earning an M.A. in English in 1921. He edited The Daily Tar Heel Daniels passed the North Carolina bar exam, but never practiced law. After World War II began, Daniels went into government service, first as assistant director of the Office of Civilian Defense and later as one of six administrative assistants for President Franklin D. Roosevelt (who had worked under Josephus Daniels during World War I). In March 1945, less than one month before his death, Roosevelt named Daniels his press secretary, and he continued in the position temporarily under President Harry S. Truman. Daniels' term serving as White House Press Secretary was the shortest since the inception of the position in 1937. Daniels returned to The News & Observer in 1947 and became its editor in 1948. In 1966, he revealed the affair between Roosevelt and Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd in his book The Time Between the Wars. More
