Anchor, 2005
A heartfelt reminder of the important things in life.
+ I very confidently recommend + Tuesdays with Bill
After reading so many spectacular reviews, I decided to give this book a whirl myself, and I'm so thankful I did. First of all, I hate to read. Well, let me rephrase that. I USED to hate to read. Doing so much reading in college leaves me with little energy outside of schoolwork to read, but I ...

A man of unquestionable integrity
+ Whitewashing High Crimes and Misdemeanors + The truth matters!!!
Note that this review is long after the publication of this book but Mr. Schippers' book is a timeless monument to his integrity and a searing indictment of our Congress and especially Bill Clinton and friends.

The Verdict of History
+ Great Story + better late than never
Like a lot of conservatives, I purchased this book when it first came out, but unlike most of them I never got around to reading it straight through until a few weeks ago. Maybe at some level I wasn't sure the book's charges would stand up so I wanted to wait a while before investing the time.

Hating Whitey: And Other Progressive Causes 85 reviews David Horowitz
Spence Publishing Company, 1999
