Brian Wayne Wells, Esquire, reviews Almanac of Am. Politics

This is the 1990 edition of the famous book by Michael Barone and Grant Ujifusa. Ever since 1971 the two researchers have teamed to produce new editions of this book which contains the very latest and most comprehensive infomation on all the members of Congress and the Senate. The book is usually in the bookstores in the month of April on every odd-numbered year with information about the members of Congress who were elected the previous November. In this 1990 edition, the members profiled will be those elected in 1988 in the Bush presidential election victory over Michael Dukakis. The voting records of the members on that floor of Congress which are analyzed in this book will be those votes taken during the last two years of the Reagan Administration. Although most lobbyists or citizens owning this book will feel the need to buy a new edition of the book every two years to stay current, this 1990 edition remains valuable as a good historical record of the last two years of the Reagan Administration.
