	1.	Shadow: Five Presidents and the Legacy of Watergate 1974-1999   Woodward, Bob Very Good. Hardcover. 1st edition hardcover w/ dustjacket 1999 Simon & Schuster. Remainder mark at bottom page edge. Unread; very clean; pages bright; binding tight. Light shelfwear to jacket. 608pp, Index, Notes, B/W photos. NOTE: Cannot ship outside U.S. via Global Priority -- Surface or Airmail only. '[V]eteran Washington Post reporter Woodward traces the impact that President Nixon's Watergate scandal has had on his 5 successors. ... Woodward's argument is that the fallout from the Watergate scandal has changed the political climate in Washington and affected both incumbents and candidates in various ways. Gerald Ford, for example, found his incumbency tarred by the pardon he issued Nixon, and many believe he lost the election for that reason; Jimmy Carter felt compelled to say that he would never lie to the American people and was embarrassed when he could not sustain the fiction; Ronald Reagan was unaffected until the Iran-contra scandal broke; George Bush seemed unaware that the media could turn on him once Desert Storm was behind him and could not handle the results; and Bill Clinton entered scandal after scandal and made many of the same errors of dissimulation that Nixon did and barely survived, being only the second president in history to be impeached. The common thread throughout these years was, in part, the altered attitude of the press, which at one time overlooked behaviors that now are the targets of aggressive investigative reporting. Presidential privacy in particular has faded with the times, and Woodward describes its continued erosion. Students of modern politics should find this presentation engaging...'--Don Wismer, Library Journal, 1999. Price: 12.00 USD

	3.	The Man Who Would Be President: Dan Quayle   Broder, David S.; Woodward, Bob Good. Hardcover. 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 1992 Simon & Schuster. Very clean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight. Light edge-crumpling to jacket. 207pp, B/W photos. Language: English. 'Readers will find little here to change perception of Vice President J. Danforth Quayle as a lightweight with a short attention span, a confused sense of history and lacking in the vision thing. In a reprint of a controversial seven-part series that appeared in the Washington Post , journalists Woodward and Broder describe Quayle's 1976 entry into politics, his contributions as a senator, his aggressive campaign to be picked by George Bush as his 1988 running mate, his ordeal-by-ridicule throughout that campaign and his accomplishments as vice-president. There's an entire chapter on Quayle's golf obsession (I can't get enough of it!) in which the authors aver that the game is a major part of his life, essential to his psychic balance and a key to understanding him. We're shown that another key is his formidable wife Marilyn, and Woodward and Broder do a fine job describing her role in her husband's career. She comes off as having more substance than he. And she is more interesting to read about in this short but informative book.'--Publishers Weekly, 1992. Price: 9.00 USD
