Must Read

Great read for a down the middle writer so sorely lacking in todays politically charged atmosphere. A fair and totally balanced picture of some of our recent politicians.

Great read !!

Whether you are intereted in politics or not, this book is very informative about a lot of interesting people who make up a part of our history - from Joe DiMaggio to President Bush. Richard Benedetto also presents a very interesting biography of himself and how USA Today first started. He also gives you insight into his writing philosophy and how he depicts those persons in the public eye - with fairness.
