James Danforth "Dan" Quayle (born February 4, 1947) is an American politician and lawyer who served as the 44th Vice President of the United States from 1989 to 1993. He was also a U.S. Representative from 1977 to 1981 and U.S. Senator from 1981 to 1989, for the state of Indiana. In 1988, Vice President George H. W. Bush was the Republican Party nominee for the presidency, and he chose Quayle as his running mate. The Bush/Quayle ticket won the 1988 election over the Democratic ticket of Michael Dukakis and Lloyd Bentsen. As Vice President, Quayle was appointed chairman of the National Space Council. In 1994, Quayle published his memoir entitled Standing Firm. He sought the Republican presidential nomination in 2000, but withdrew and supported George W. Bush. In 2016, he endorsed Jeb Bush and later Donald Trump for President. More

New York: Warner Books, 1989. Book Club Edition. Hardcover. The format is approximately 5.25 inches by 8.25 inches. xviii, [2], 236 pages. Genealogy table. Illustrations. Index. The DJ is worn and soiled. Slight creasing to DJ edges. The first complete biography of Barbara Bush celebrates her upbringing and devotion to family values, her work on behalf of literacy, education, and cancer research, and the emergence of her popular cloth-coat style. Donnie Radcliffe (July 13, 1929 – February 19, 2010) was a journalist for The Washington Post and a biographer who wrote biographies of First Ladies Barbara Bush and Hillary Clinton. Mrs. Radcliffe joined The Post in 1972 and rose to cover the White House, one of the top assignments at a newspaper, at a time when many male editors did not take female reporters seriously. She advanced her career by writing news stories that, in the hands of some other writers, would have arrived on Washington doorsteps as soft features. During her 22-year career at The Post, Mrs. Radcliffe covered six White Houses. Bob Woodward, the Post reporter who with Carl Bernstein uncovered the Watergate scandal, called Mrs. Radcliffe a "pick-and-shovel reporter--always digging. That's the biggest compliment I can give someone, a pick-and-shovel reporter." He said Mrs. Radcliffe used her contacts to set up interviews "with lots of Nixon people" to help him and Bernstein. Mrs. Radcliffe did her most memorable reporting during the Reagan White House of the 1980s. From Washington, she wrote about the thousands of dollars in borrowed designer clothes that first lady Nancy Reagan accepted after promising to halt the practice. More

Maureen Elizabeth Reagan (January 4, 1941 – August 8, 2001) was an American political activist, the first child of U.S. President Ronald Reagan and his first wife, actress Jane Wyman. Her adoptive brother was Michael Reagan and her half-siblings were Patti Davis and Ron Reagan, from her father's second marriage (to Nancy Reagan). Reagan spoke on behalf of Republican candidates throughout the country. Reagan was the first son or daughter of a President to be elected cochair of the Republican National Committee. However, both of her attempts at election to political office ended in defeat. She ran unsuccessfully for the United States Senate from California in 1982 (which was eventually won by Pete Wilson) and in 1992 for California's 36th congressional district. Although they maintained a united front, Maureen Reagan differed from her father on several key issues. Although reared Roman Catholic following her mother's conversion, she was pro-choice on abortion. She also held the belief that Oliver North should have been court-martialed. After her father announced his diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in 1994, Maureen Reagan became a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and served as the group's spokeswoman. More

Wakefield, NH: Longwood Academic, 1991. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. xxix, [1], 454, [4] pages. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Sticker residue on front cover. No Dust Jacket. Foreword by Tony Brown. This is not a book about black Republicans. It is a book about the historical relationship between blacks and the Republican Party. This relationship began in 1854, the year the party was founded to prevent the extension of slavery,and reached its high point in the 1860s, when Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation and self-styled Radical Republicans labored in Congress to give blacks citizenship and voting rights. For the next seventy-five years, nearly every black who voted in local, state and national elections voted Republican. The book addresses the question of why the relationship between blacks and the GOP had soured beginning in 1936, and all be ended by 1964. More
