USA: Hyperion, Miramax Books, 2004. Paperback. used-Good condition. In “Big Russ & Me, Father and Son: Lessons of Life,” by Tim Russert (2004), the well-known America TV journalist talks about his relationship with his father, Big Russ. "The older I get, the smarter my father seems to get. Hardly a day goes by when I don't remember something that Big Russ taught me." In this warm, engaging memoir, Russert casts a fond look back to the 1950s Buffalo neighborhood of his youth.

And the Horse He Rode in On: The People vs. Kenneth Starr, published in 1998, is told from the viewpoint of author James Carville, the strategist for Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. Longtime Carville observers know that his dislike of Kenneth Starr has been brewing since Starr was appointed to the independent prosecutor's office back in 1994 by a crony of ultraconservative Senator Jesse Helms to look into alleged financial misconduct on the part of Bill and Hillary Clinton in the Whitewater case. Carville piles on the evidence for his argument that Starr, with his partisan politics and numerous conflicts of interest, should never have been let anywhere near Whitewater, let alone allowed to pry into the personal relationship that Clinton had with Monica Lewinsky in the mid-'90s.
