Austin, TX: Texas Monthly Press, c1986. First Printing. Hardcover. 24 cm,xi, [1], 263 pages, notes, index. Foreword by Dan Rather. Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr. (born Jesse Louis Burns; October 8, 1941) is an American civil rights activist, Baptist minister, and politician. He was a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984 and 1988 and served as a shadow U.S. Senator for the District of Columbia from 1991 to 1997. He is the founder of the organizations that merged to form Rainbow/PUSH. In the primaries, Jackson, who had been written off by pundits as a fringe candidate with little chance at winning the nomination, surprised many when he took third place behind Senator Gary Hart and former Vice President Walter Mondale, who eventually won the nomination. Jackson garnered 3,282,431 primary votes, or 18.2 percent of the total, in 1984, and won five primaries and caucuses, including Louisiana, the District of Columbia, South Carolina, Virginia, and one of two separate contests in Mississippi. As he had gained 21% of the popular vote but only 8% of delegates, he afterwards complained that he had been handicapped by party rules. While Mondale (in the words of his aides) was determined to establish a precedent with his vice presidential candidate by picking a woman or visible minority, Jackson criticized the screening process as a "p.r. parade of personalities" More

Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1987. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. xv, [5], 217, [3] pages. Includes Illustrations, Acknowledgments, Authors' Note, and Preface. Signed by Betty Ford on the front free endpaper. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Like so many millions of Americans, Betty Ford suffered from alcoholism and drug addictions. But in her case, as in many cases, the disease took years to surface. When it did, it took all of the strength and courage that she and her family possessed to be able to deal with it. This is a deeply personal memoir in which Mrs. Ford shares her experience, understanding, and hope, so that other men and women can discover that alcoholism and drug addiction need not rob them of their lives. Wonderment, gratitude, serenity, laughter, freedom--these are but a few of the gifts which Mrs. Ford received in her recovery. And, as she so eloquently describes in her book, they are her ongoing inspiration to help others who feel defeated by the disease of addiction. This book is a living testament to the power of love, the joys of recovery, and the will to survive that can give life a new, and often better, beginning. Elizabeth Anne Ford (née Bloomer; April 8, 1918 – July 8, 2011) was the First Lady of the United States from 1974 to 1977, as the wife of President Gerald Ford. As First Lady, she was active in social policy and set a precedent as a politically active presidential spouse. Ford also served as the Second Lady of the United States from 1973 to 1974. She was the founder, and served as the first chair of the board of directors, of the Betty Ford Center for substance abuse and addiction. More
