Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Philip Hart retired from the Senate in 1976, his colleagues praised him with these tributes: true champion of the consumer, missionary for civil rights, rare visionary of the country, fair adversary and gracious opponent, crusader for justice and a giant in any century. As a final tribute, Phil's fellow Senators voted to name the new Senate Office Building after him with the endearing sentiment: "the Senate seat will be replaced, but not the man." This book takes you on an inspiring journey from Phil's boyhood days in Pennsylvania to his death in December, 1976. The author, John Richard Willertz, became acquainted with Philip Hart while serving as Bay County's chairman of Philip Hart's re-election campaign for U.S. Senate. Thus began his 25 year labor of love writing this book. John's many private conversations with Phil inspired him as they discussed history, Catholicism and politics. This book is published posthumously by his widow, Jackie Willertz.

Book excerpt: Life has been good to Senator Jack E. Wilson, a God-fearing Republican from North Carolina. The President's aide, Party spokesman and deputy-leader of the Senate, things have been going pretty well for Jack. With a good friend in the Health Secretary, Senator Finley; two trusted lieutenants in Jim and Frank, and a beautiful personal assistant in Monique, little seems likely to trouble his road towards becoming House Leader of the Senate. Then, in apparent spite of his late wife Grace who died of lung cancer, the trade and industry Senator Anello decides to build a giant tobacco plant in his home town of Raleigh. Jack vehemently opposes the location of what at first sight appears to be just another irrational whim of big industry, but soon finds that the stakes are a lot higher than they at first appeared. A trail of murder and malice follows a bitter conflict between the rival camps. Eventually something has to give, somebody has to betray, and someone has to lose in this deadly game whose winner stands to gain a lot more than just a forest in North Carolina.
Download or read book Swords Against The Senate written by Erik Hildinger and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2008-11-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first century B.C., Rome was the ruler of a vast empire. Yet at the heart of the Republic was a fatal flaw: a dangerous hostility between the aristocracy and the plebians, each regarding itself as the foundation of Rome's military power. Turning from their foreign enemies, Romans would soon be fighting Romans.Swords Against the Senate describes the first three decades of Rome's century-long civil war that transformed it from a republic to an imperial autocracy, from the Rome of citizen leaders to the Rome of decadent emperor thugs. As the republic came apart amid turmoil, Gaius Marius, the "people's general," rose to despotic power only to be replaced by the brutal dictator Sulla. The Roman army, once invincible against foreign antagonists, became a tool for the powerful, and the Roman Senate its foe.
Download or read book Al Franken Giant of the Senate written by Al Franken and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Senator Al Franken - #1 bestselling author and beloved SNL alum -- comes the story of an award-winning comedian who decided to run for office and then discovered why award-winning comedians tend not to do that. "Flips the classic born-in-a-shack rise to political office tale on its head. I skipped meals to read this book - also unusual - because every page was funny. It made me deliriously happy." -- Louise Erdrich, The New York Times This is a book about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny in retrospect. It's a book about what happens when the nation's foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it. It's a book about our deeply polarized, frequently depressing, occasionally inspiring political culture, written from inside the belly of the beast. In this candid personal memoir, the honorable gentleman from Minnesota takes his army of loyal fans along with him from Saturday Night Live to the campaign trail, inside the halls of Congress, and behind the scenes of some of the most dramatic and/or hilarious moments of his new career in politics. Has Al Franken become a true Giant of the Senate? Franken asks readers to decide for themselves.
