How did George W. Bush change from being a "regular person" in
front of reporters to a master of information control? Or was there
a change after all? Towel Snapping the Press follows Bush's
lifelong association with the press, showing how he has developed
and modified his tactics-from his days as part owner of the Texas
Rangers baseball team to the present, with a look back at young
George during his grandfather's 1950 Senate campaign. During Bush's
early years in the public eye, the press did not scrutinize him;
but as president, he became a subject of intense analysis and his
"relaxed" demeanor became a pitfall. Still, many reporters find the
president's disposition charming, even while they are frustrated by
his message discipline and rigid control of press access to
administration sources. Towel Snapping the Press not only presents
interesting stories about the president from reporters' points of
view, but also raises important issues that any civically engaged
citizen will want to explore.
