Book excerpt: Now a major motion picture "The Front Runner" starring Hugh Jackman An NPR Best Book of the Year In May 1987, Colorado Senator Gary Hart—a dashing, reform-minded Democrat—seemed a lock for the party’s presidential nomination and led George H. W. Bush by double digits in the polls. Then, in one tumultuous week, rumors of marital infidelity and a newspaper’s stakeout of Hart’s home resulted in a media frenzy the likes of which had never been seen before. Through the spellbindingly reported story of the Senator’s fall from grace, Matt Bai, Yahoo News columnist and former chief political correspondent for The New York Times Magazine, shows the Hart affair to be far more than one man’s tragedy: rather, it marked a crucial turning point in the ethos of political media, and the new norms of life in the public eye. All the Truth Is Out is a tour de force portrait of the American way of politics at the highest level, one that changes our understanding of how we elect our presidents and how the bedrock of American values has shifted under our feet.

Download or read book The Frontrunner written by Keith J. Netto and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fictional novel is written for entertainment purposes only. The story attempts to depict life from varying perspectives. The leading character is Jerome Stanton McCauly II, the son of an overachieving military army colonel who ruled with unquestioning authority. The story introduces a band of characters that can be viewed as misfits of society and the various trials and tribulations faced by the group who referred to themselves as Renegades. As with any group of individuals, there was a stormy relationship during their first times together. However, as time rolled on, there was a norming within the group and a spirit of brotherly love and togetherness that was second to none. The group banded together with a cohesiveness that in a way provided the comfort, love, and attention they did not find in school or within their respective families. They held firmly to the saying, "I got your back" as a way of showing strength and togetherness. The colonel's unyielding manner of parenting was a constant source of family discontent and he clashed often with his son Jerome(Jay). On one particular evening, and after a heated exchange between Jay and his dad,the internal struggle was too much for Jay's mother. She was no match for her husband and felt inadequate in her inability to protect her son. She went into the bathroom and never recovered from her action. Jerome(Jay) moved out of the house and blamed his dad for his mother's action. He then became the leader of the renegades. In a perverse sense he did adopt many of his father's traits in being firm and direct in his leadership of the group. He set rules for the misfits and levied fines for tardiness and incomplete tasks. In a way it was honor amongst the dishonorable. Jay and his cohorts roamed through the small coastal Virginia town with reckless abandon. They were quickly gaining a reputation with the local police and school officials. Their presence evoked fear in others and their absence from classes was actually a relief to teachers and students. Their bark was usually worse than their bite, but it was the nuisance issues that made them unwanted guests wherever they ventured. As time progressed, the group migrated to petty theft and later into drugs as a way of supporting their meager existence. Jay continued his wayward life until a life-altering experience just prior to his eighteenth birthday. His father rushed to his bedside at the hospital which started the mending of their broken relationship. After all, the colonel had lost his wife and could not fathom the thought of losing his only son. Given a last chance at salvation by his father, Jay morphed into a model citizen, entered college, tried his hand at politics, and catapulted to the top. He married his college sweetheart and started a family. He vowed to be a better father to his children and more than ever wanted a close family relationship. He spoke with them respectfully and listened intently to their every word. Family dinner was a lengthy and enjoyable affair even though his children at first thought this to be a fate worse than death. Jay succeeded in his run for a vacant senator's position. He flourished in this position and was a tenacious fighter for his ideals and represented his constituents with vigor not before seen in his state. He was also sought after to serve on powerful committees. His party beckoned him to be their candidate for the presidency, and after deliberation and discussions with his family, he accepted the challenge and ultimately won the nomination. His once hectic life became more busy, yet still manageable. He was surrounded by well-wishers, confidants, aides, and a host of others who were driven to success. Others simply were riding his coattail to notoriety. After winning the party's nomination, and just months from the general election in which he was the undisputed frontrunner........ Click.....it was back and would change the course of history........

Download or read book Woman President written by Kristina Horn Sheeler and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What elements of American political and rhetorical culture block the imagining—and thus, the electing—of a woman as president? Examining both major-party and third-party campaigns by women, including the 2008 campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, the authors of Woman President: Confronting Postfeminist Political Culture identify the factors that limit electoral possibilities for women. Pundits have been predicting women’s political ascendency for years. And yet, although the 2008 presidential campaign featured Hillary Clinton as an early frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination and Sarah Palin as the first female Republican vice-presidential nominee, no woman has yet held either of the top two offices. The reasons for this are complex and varied, but the authors assert that the question certainly encompasses more than the shortcomings of women candidates or the demands of the particular political moment. Instead, the authors identify a pernicious backlash against women presidential candidates—one that is expressed in both political and popular culture. In Woman President: Confronting Postfeminist Political Culture, Kristina Horn Sheeler and Karrin Vasby Anderson provide a discussion of US presidentiality as a unique rhetorical role. Within that framework, they review women’s historical and contemporary presidential bids, placing special emphasis on the 2008 campaign. They also consider how presidentiality is framed in candidate oratory, campaign journalism, film and television, digital media, and political parody.

Download or read book Journalism and Jim Crow written by Kathy Roberts Forde and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the American Historical Association’s 2022 Eugenia M. Palmegiano Prize. White publishers and editors used their newspapers to build, nurture, and protect white supremacy across the South in the decades after the Civil War. At the same time, a vibrant Black press fought to disrupt these efforts and force the United States to live up to its democratic ideals. Journalism and Jim Crow centers the press as a crucial political actor shaping the rise of the Jim Crow South. The contributors explore the leading role of the white press in constructing an anti-democratic society by promoting and supporting not only lynching and convict labor but also coordinated campaigns of violence and fraud that disenfranchised Black voters. They also examine the Black press’s parallel fight for a multiracial democracy of equality, justice, and opportunity for all—a losing battle with tragic consequences for the American experiment. Original and revelatory, Journalism and Jim Crow opens up new ways of thinking about the complicated relationship between journalism and power in American democracy. Contributors: Sid Bedingfield, Bryan Bowman, W. Fitzhugh Brundage, Kathy Roberts Forde, Robert Greene II, Kristin L. Gustafson, D'Weston Haywood, Blair LM Kelley, and Razvan Sibii

When Mallory Blessing's son, Link, receives deathbed instructions from his mother to call a number on a slip of paper in her desk drawer, he's not sure what to expect. But he certainly does not expect Jake McCloud to answer. It's the late spring of 2020 and Jake's wife, Ursula DeGournsey, is the frontrunner in the upcoming Presidential election. There must be a mistake, Link thinks. How do Mallory and Jake know each other? Flash back to the sweet summer of 1993: Mallory has just inherited a beachfront cottage on Nantucket from her aunt, and she agrees to host her brother's bachelor party. Cooper's friend from college, Jake McCloud, attends, and Jake and Mallory form a bond that will persevere—through marriage, children, and Ursula's stratospheric political rise—until Mallory learns she's dying. Based on the classic film Same Time Next Year (which Mallory and Jake watch every summer), 28 Summers explores the agony and romance of a one-weekend-per-year affair and the dramatic ways this relationship complicates and enriches their lives, and the lives of the people they love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disruptive digital technologies are poised to reshape world energy markets. A new wave of industrial innovation, driven by the convergence of automation, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics, is remaking energy and transportation systems in ways that could someday end the age of oil. What are the consequences—not only for the environment and for daily life but also for geopolitics and the international order? Amy Myers Jaffe provides an expert look at the promises and challenges of the future of energy, highlighting what the United States needs to do to maintain its global influence in a post-oil era. She surveys new advances coming to market in on-demand travel services, automation, logistics, energy storage, artificial intelligence, and 3-D printing and explores how this rapid pace of innovation is altering international security dynamics in fundamental ways. As the United States vacillates politically about its energy trajectory, China is proactively striving to become the global frontrunner in a full-scale global energy transformation. In order to maintain its leadership role, Jaffe argues, the United States must embrace the digital revolution and foster American achievement. Bringing together analyses of technological innovation, energy policy, and geopolitics, Energy’s Digital Future gives indispensable insight into the path the United States will need to pursue to ensure its lasting economic competitiveness and national security in a new energy age.
