New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1996. First Edition [stated]. Hardcover. 25 cm, xvi, 442 pages, index. Slight wear to DJ edges, slight soiling to rear DJ. Inscribed by the author. Time Present, Time Past, is an exceptional memoir about growing up in Missouri, going to Princeton, and, above all, serving in the Senate. It is a political book, but not a politician’s book. Rather, it is the work of a writer who happens to be a politician. Intelligent, surprisingly candid, and exceptionally well written, it is a love letter to America from someone who is aware of this country’s weaknesses and contradictions, but who is still optimistic about the future. When Bradley, at 52 a young man by Senate standards, announced he would not run for reelection. Married, with a college-age daughter, he has said that he never thought of himself as a Capitol Hill lifer, and that, while he liked being a senator, he was worn out by the need to spend so much time raising money. He was also underwhelmed by the idea of working as a member of a minority fighting the new conservatism. But he planned to remain in the public arena and was clearly thinking of the future and of a moment when it might yet be time for him to go tarmac to tarmac. More

William Warren Bradley (born July 28, 1943) is an American politician and former professional basketball player. He served three terms as a Democratic U.S. senator from New Jersey (1979–1997). He ran for the Democratic Party's nomination for president in the 2000 election, which he lost to Vice President Al Gore. Bradley was an all-county and all-state basketball player in high school. He won a gold medal as a member of the 1964 Olympic basketball team and was the NCAA Player of the Year in 1965, when Princeton finished third in the NCAA Tournament. After graduating, he attended Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship where he was a member of Worcester College, delaying a decision for two years on whether or not to play in the National Basketball Association (NBA). While at Oxford, Bradley played one season of professional basketball in Europe and eventually decided to join the New York Knicks in the 1967–68 season, after serving six months in the Air Force Reserve. He spent his entire ten-year professional basketball career playing for the Knicks, winning NBA titles in 1970 and 1973. Retiring in 1977, he ran for a seat in the United States Senate the following year, from his adopted home state of New Jersey. He was re-elected in 1984 and 1990, left the Senate in 1997. Bradley is the author of seven non-fiction books, most recently We Can All Do Better, and hosts a weekly radio show, American Voices, on Sirius Satellite Radio. More

List of senior officials in the Carter administration. Index, slight wear/soil to DJ. Signed by the author. James Earl Carter Jr. (born October 1, 1924) is an American politician and philanthropist who served as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as a Georgia State Senator from 1963 to 1967 and as the 76th governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975. Since leaving the presidency, Carter has remained engaged in political and social projects as a private citizen. In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in co-founding the Carter Center. Carter graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1946 with a Bachelor of Science degree and joined the United States Navy, where he served on submarines. After the death of his father in 1953, Carter returned home to Georgia to take over his family's peanut-growing business. His ambition to expand the Carters' peanut business was fulfilled. Carter became an activist within the Democratic Party. From 1963 to 1967, Carter served in the Georgia State Senate, and in 1970, he was elected as Governor of Georgia, defeating former Governor Carl Sanders in the Democratic primary on a platform advocating affirmative action. Carter remained as governor until 1975. Despite being a dark-horse candidate who was little known outside of Georgia at the start of the campaign, Carter won the 1976 Democratic presidential nomination. Carter ran as an outsider and narrowly defeated incumbent Republican President Gerald Ford. More
