New York, NY: Random House, 1993. First edition [stated]. Hardcover. xi, [3], 255, [3] pages. Inscribed by author on fep. DJ is price clipped. She's back. Molly Ivins, our most perceptive, outrageously funny political commentator, has given us an uproarious book. In Nothin' But Good Times Ahead, Ivins proved that no one has a steadier gaze or a quicker trigger finger, as she hits the bull's-eye in such targets as George Bush, Bill Clinton, Camille Paglia, the Clarence Thomas hearings, and the ethics-twisting, English-slaughtering pols of her beloved Texas. Here's Molly on: The 1992 Republican Convention: "Many people did not care for Pat Buchanan's speech; it probably sounded better in the original German." Texas politics: "Better than the zoo, better than the circus, rougher than football, and even more aesthetically satisfying than baseball." Gibber Lewis, former House Speaker of the Texas State Legislature: "He once announced, 'This is unparalyzed in the state's history." Another Gibberism: "It could have bad ramifistations in the hilterlands." More

From Wikipedia: "Mary Tyler "Molly" Ivins (August 30, 1944 January 31, 2007) was an American newspaper columnist, populist, political commentator, humorist and author. In 1970 Ivins moved to Austin, Texas to be the co-editor and political reporter for the Texas Observer. She covered the Texas Legislature and befriended folklorist John Henry Faulk, Secretary of State Bob Bullock and future Governor Ann Richards, among others. She also gained increasing national attention through op-ed and feature stories along with a busy speaking schedule inside and outside Texas. Her freelance work and speaking engagements continued to grow. In 1991, her book Molly Ivins Can't Say That, Can She? was published, and spent 29 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. 2001 she became an independent journalist. Her column, syndicated by Creators Syndicate, eventually appeared in nearly 400 newspapers. More

Based on her analysis of the 1988 presidential campaign, the author contends that television advertisements (for example, the Bush ads linking Dukakis to Willie Horton and ridiculing Dukakis' tank ride) can obscure a candidate's actual positions while mesmerizing broadcasters and reporters. In this book, Jamieson provides her readers with a new way to interpret political campaigns in an attempt to uncover the truth. She analyzes the various advertising techniques used by candidates, attempting to show themselves in a more positive light than their opponents. Jamieson also provides her readers with many advertising strategies. For example, she explains that many advertisements attempt to impersonate the news, hoping to gain legitimacy. Kathleen Hall Jamieson (born November 24, 1946) is an American professor of communication and the director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. She is an author, most recently of Cyberwar, about how Russia very likely helped Donald J. Trump become the U.S. President in 2016. From 1971 to 1986, Jamieson served as a professor at the University of Maryland. She held the G. B. Dealey Regents Professorship at the University of Texas from 1986 to 1989, and served as the Dean of the Annenberg School for Communication of the University of Pennsylvania from 1989 to 2003 and Director of its Annenberg Public Policy Center from 1993 to the present.

New York: Oxford University Press, 2003. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xvii, [3], 220 pages. Signed and dated by Jamieson on title page and just signed by Waldman on the title page. Lecture program where the authors discussed their book laid in. Includes Acknowledgment, Introduction, Conclusion, Notes, and Index. Chapters include The Press as Storyteller; The Press as Amateur Psychologist, Part I; The Press as Amateur Psychologist, Part II; The Press as Soothsayer; The Press as Shaper of Events; The Press as Patriot; and The Press as Custodian of Fact. How does the press fail us during presidential elections? Jamieson and Waldman show that when political campaigns side step or refuse to engage the facts of the opposing side, the press often fails to step into the void with the information citizens require to make sense of the political give-and-take. They look at the stories through which we understand political events--examining a number of fabrications that deceived the public about consequential governmental activies--and explore the ways in which political leaders and reporters select the language through which we talk and think about politics, and the relationship between the rhetoric of campaigns and the reality of governance. They explore the role of the campaigns and the press in the 2000 election, and ask whether in 2000 the press applied the same standards of truth-telling to both Bush and Gore. The events of election night and the thirty six days that followed revealed the role that preconceptions play in press interpretation and the importance of press frames in determining the tone of political coverage as well as the impact of overconfidence in polls.

The Senator's personal account of his break from the Republican Party. James Merrill Jeffords (May 11, 1934 – August 18, 2014) was a U.S. Senator from Vermont. In 1988 he was the successful Republican nominee for the United States Senate seat held by the retiring Robert Stafford. He served as a Republican until 2001, when he left the party to become an Independent and began caucusing with the Democrats. His switch changed control of the Senate from Republican to Democratic, the first time a switch had ever changed party control. Jeffords retired from the Senate in 2007. He graduated from Yale University, served for three years in the United States Navy, and then attended Harvard Law School, from which he received his degree in 1962. Jeffords served one term in the Vermont Senate (1967-1969), and two as Attorney General of Vermont (1969-1973). Prior to the Senate, he served as the U.S. Representative for Vermont's at-large congressional district from 1975 to 1989. More
