Bruni, Frank Ambling into History: The Unlikely Odyssey of George W. Bush
New York, New York, U.S.A. Perennial 2003 0060937823 / 9780060937829 Trade Paperback Near-Fine
Near-new condition. Stated First Perennial Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages. 278 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - As the principal New York Times reporter assigned to cover George W. Bush's presidential campaign from it's earliest stages—and then as a White House correspondent—Frank Bruni has spent as much time around Bush over the last two years as any other reporter. In Bushed, Bruni paints the most thorough, balanced, eloquent, and lively portrait yet of a man in many ways ill-suited to the office he sought and won, focusing on small moments that often escaped the news media's notice. From the author's initial introduction to Bush through a nutty election night and Bush's first months in office, Bruni captures the president's familiar and less familiar oddities and takes readers on an often funny, usually irreverent journey into the strange, closed universe—or "bubble"—of campaign life. The result is an original take on the political process and a detailed glimpse of George W. Bush as most Americans have never seen him before.

Bruni, Frank Ambling Into History: The Unlikely Odyssey of George W. Bush
HarperCollinsPublishers 2002 0066213711 / 9780066213712 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine
Stated First Edition. Price inside dustcover:$23.95. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. 278 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Is George W. Bush up to the challenges of a post-9/11 presidency? Frank Bruni, the reporter who covered the Bush presidential campaign for The New York Times, takes a close look at this son of a former president, a man whom history tapped on the shoulder and commanded to rise to the occasion. Bruni presents two distinct George W. Bushes, one pre-9/11 and one post. His take on Bush prior to the attacks is of a man who is naturally and spontaneously jovial and lighthearted with everyone he meets. He can't bear to be away from his Midland, Texas, ranch -- either to campaign for the White House or to occupy it. The reader may wonder why he made the attempt. Was it expected, or assumed? At one point, Bruni refers to Bush as a man struggling with his "inner imp." His penchant for tagging fellow politicians and members of the press with humorous and colorful nicknames -- he calls Bruni "Pancho" at one point -- is one manifestation of this. He can hardly keep a straight face at formal functions, literally fighting back the urge to cut up. After the attacks, there is an understandable sobering, of course, as Bush is thrust into a situation no one could have imagined. His speech on September 20th is well received, and a country suddenly at war seems to embrace this man who many felt shouldn't have been in the Oval Office to begin with. In a way, Bush's well-chronicled "less cerebral" style serves him well; his direct "Let's go get the evildoers"type statements mirror the visceral emotions many citizens share. The Taliban's quick collapse in Afghanistan earns him deserved plaudits. Of course, there was more going on in America than just the war against terrorism as Bush completed his first year in office. From the beginning, he received sharp criticism for his abandonment of many Clinton administration environmental protection directives, and his appointment of hard-right Cabinet members such as John Ashcroft made many doubt his famous campaign pledge, "I'm a uniter, not a divider." But Bruni captures Bush best with this most ironic -- and prophetic -- pre-9/11 quote: "You never know where life is going to take you."

Near-fine condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. Covers are clean, show light wear (NO tears). NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Illustrated. Book Description Publication Date: June 29, 2010 The New York Times restaurant critic's heartbreaking and hilarious account of how he learned to love food just enough Frank Bruni was born round. Round as in stout, chubby, and always hungry. His relationship with eating was difficult and his struggle with it began early. When named the restaurant critic for The New York Times in 2004, he knew he would be performing one of the most watched tasks in the epicurean universe. And with food his friend and enemy both, his jitters focused primarily on whether he'd finally made some sense of that relationship. A captivating story of his unpredictable journalistic odyssey as well as his lifelong love-hate affair with food, Born Round will speak to everyone who's ever had to rein in an appetite to avoid letting out a waistband.
