DESCRIPTION:
TrueRed said A total fix for political junkies. The problem I had with Stahl's book is that I STOPPED WORKING. Luckily, I am a writer, so no one really noticed. But this is a book so rich in behind-the-scenes detail that you can hardly put it down.Here is the line I liked best in the book. At a ferocious briefing with press secretary Larry Speakes, he is saying "I'd like you to report." Stahl interrupts: "We don't care what you'd like us to report." Get it?Finally, I was impressed with how much credit and space she gives her pr. "Nothing Earth Shaking Here" according to A Customer. I was generally disappointed with Stahl's book. As a political junkie who reads just about every tell-all book penned by former White House aides and correspondents, I expected a more revealing look at the Carter and Reagan years. About the only real eye-popper was Stahl's account of her farewell meeting with Ronald Reagan in the Oval Office in 1986. According to Stahl, Reagan was clearly in the midst of an Alzheimer's episode when she and her family walked through the door. Altho. sweetmolly said Lively Lesley.

She didn't just date Bob Woodward, she vied with him for scoops. As a rookie in the CBS Washington, D.C., bureau in 1972, she got an assignment too grubby and unpromising for the big reporters: Watergate. Stahl sketches her personal life (and Latham's near-fatal depression), but her stuff on media and politics is the real news here. Besides a briskly readable account of epochal events witnessed up close, she offers canny insights into what broke Nixon, backs up Tom Shales's opinion of Carter as "a combination Mr. --Tim Appelo. Not only can Stahl fire fierce questions at world leaders against hair-raising deadlines, she can a
Lesley Stahl's job offer from CBS came with an ultimatum -- "if you can't start tomorrow, forget it." The year was 1972, and opportunities for women in network television were rare. With the same determination that would define her career, she promptly departed Boston, went to Washington, and began her ascent to the top of broadcast journalism. With witty anecdotes, wise observations, and never a hair out of place, Stahl provides an insightful and entertaining look at her world and ours from behind the reporter's microphone.. She would cover the next three presidents, witnessing the disintegration of Jimmy Carter's presidency, the rise and fall and rise again of Ronald Reagan's, and the unpretentious, regular-guy quality of George Bush's. In a male-dominated world, Stahl established herself as a "scoopster" and a "door kicker," breaking some of the most important stories in Washington, including Watergate.
