Customer Reviews

More insight than a year of front pages . . .

A baker's dozen of the best in public service lay bare aches and dreams about their calling. Final words that soar above the daily slush that turns so many Americans away from things political. Cherish this one. Give it to every young student you know. Bradley, Brown, Cohen, Exon, Hatfield, Heflin, Johnston, Kassebaum, Nunn, Pell, Pryor, Simon, Simpson. Ouch.
