Washington, DC: The Washington Post Magazine, 2019. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. [2], 29, [1] pages, including covers. Issue for March 31, 2019. Photo illustration of Nancy Pelosi by Marvin Joseph. Article runs from pages 10 through 17, including photographs. Nancy Pelosi never thought that Donald Trump would be elected president, but in many ways she has been preparing for this political battle all of her life. First elected to Congress in a special election in 1987 and now in her 17th term, she is experienced in all of Washington's various forms of combat, power, and perseverance. She is the first woman to lead a political party in all of Washington's various forms of combat, power, and perseverance. She is the first woman to lead a political party in Congress and, in 2007, was the first woman to become speaker of the House. After Democrats won control of the House in November following eight years out of power, Pelosi fended off an effort by some in her party to replace her, and reclaimed the speakership. Now in her fourth decade as an elected representative, Pelosi is at the outset of a term that will almost certainly be the most critical of her career. Pelosi states that "there are a range of views in her caucus, and we respect that." But we are unified. People compliment me and they say, "Oh, you know, you can keep them all together" I don't. Our values unify us." As usual, this issue has other articles and its regular features. More

New York, N.Y. Twelve [Hachette Book Group, Inc.], 2009. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. x, 532 pages. Includes Prologue, Acknowledgments, Bibliography, and Index. Chapters include Family; Brotherhood; On My Own; and Renewal. Edward Moore "Ted" Kennedy (February 22, 1932-August 25, 2009) was a Senator from Massachusetts and a member of the Democratic Party. He was the second most senior member of the Senate when he died and was the fourth-longest-serving senator in United States history, having served there for almost 47 years. Kennedy entered the Senate in a November 1962 special election to fill the seat once held by his brother John. Kennedy was known for his charisma and oratorical skills. His 1968 eulogy for his brother Robert and his 1980 rallying cry for modern American liberalism were among his best-known speeches. He became recognized as "The Lion of the Senate" through his long tenure and influence. In this landmark autobiography, five years in the making, Senator Edward M. Kennedy tells his extraordinary personal story--of his legendary family, politics, and fifty years at the center of national events. For the first time, he describes his heartbreak and years of struggle in the wake of the deaths of his family members. Through it all, he describes his work in the Senate on the major issues of our time--civil rights, Vietnam, Watergate, the quest for peace in Northern Ireland--and the cause of his life: improved health care for all Americans, a fight influenced by his own experiences in hospitals. His life has been marked by tragedy and perseverance, love of family, and an abiding faith. There have been controversies and he addresses them with unprecedented candor. More

He later served Kennedy in a similar position for one year when Robert Kennedy became U.S. Senator from New York in 1965. As a result of his work with Kennedy, he was third on Nixon's Enemies List. He was the national editor for the Los Angeles Times from 1965 to 1977 and then the editorial page editor for The Philadelphia Inquirer (1977–1987).
