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

Peter Charles Archibald Ewart Jennings CM (July 29, 1938 – August 7, 2005) was a Canadian-American journalist who served as the sole anchor of ABC World News Tonight from 1983 until his death from lung cancer in 2005. Jennings began his professional career with CJOH-TV in Ottawa, anchoring the local newscasts. In 1965, ABC News tapped him to anchor its flagship evening news program. Critics and others in the television news business attacked his inexperience. He became a foreign correspondent in 1968, reporting from the Middle East. Jennings returned as one of World News Tonight's three anchormen in 1978, and he was promoted to sole anchorman in 1983. He was also known for his marathon coverage of breaking news stories, staying on the air for 15 hours or more to anchor the live broadcast of events such as the Gulf War in 1991, the millennium celebrations in 1999-2000, and the September 11 attacks in 2001. In addition to anchoring, he was the host of many ABC News special reports and moderated several American presidential debates. More

Larry King (born Lawrence Harvey Zeiger; November 19, 1933 – January 23, 2021) was an American television and radio host, whose awards included two Peabodys, an Emmy and ten Cable ACE Awards. He hosted over 50,000 interviews. King was a WMBM radio interviewer in the Miami area in the 1950s and 1960s, and gained prominence in 1978 as host of The Larry King Show, a nationwide call-in radio program. From 1985 to 2010, he hosted the nightly interview program Larry King Live on CNN. King hosted Larry King Now from 2012 to 2020. He hosted Politicking with Larry King, a weekly political talk show, from 2013 to 2020. As King relived his most controversial and surprising shows, he looked for a pattern in the madness. He asked questions about the way society was being changed by technology, and why the line between news makers and news reporters had become nearly invisible. The answers Larry offered may not be what we wanted to hear. Whether he was gaining unprecedented access or providing an unrivaled political forum that mixes ordinary citizens with professional spin doctors, Larry King had helped revolutionize the electronic media. He was also a columnist for USA Today. More
