Now, for the first time, Fox News political analyst and former
Clinton adviser Dick Morris turns his sharp-eyed gaze on Hillary,
the longtime First Lady, current New York senator, and bestselling
author. For, as he argues, no politician in America today is better
aligned to become president in 2008 -- and none would bring more
baggage to the White House -- than Mrs. Clinton. In Rewriting
History, Morris draws on his own long working relationship with the
Clintons, as well as his trademark deep research and candid,
nonpartisan analysis, to create a rebuttal to Hillary's bestselling
autobiography, Living History. Morris documents how Hillary hides
her true self behind a "HILLARY" brand that is chatty, charming,
giggly, and warm -- but is far from her true personality. In
Rewriting History, Morris pierces the mask to get at the truth
behind the distortions and omissions of Hillary's memoir. Here we
meet the real Hillary, both good and bad: the manager who makes the
trains run on time, but also the paranoid who sees all those who
disagree with her as personal enemies; the idealist, but also the
"advice addict" easily misled by the guru of the moment. Morris
describes Hillary's sense of entitlement, and warns that it may
lead deep into financial scandal. And he demonstrates how Hillary
dodges criticism by pretending that every attack is directed not
just at her, but at every working woman in America. Ultimately,
Morris argues, the Hillary Clinton of today is marketing a false
front, obscuring both her wants and her assets behind the phoney
facade of a domestic Everywoman. But as she pursues higher office,
she also faces a choice. Will she, like Bobby Kennedy, see the
error of her ruthless ways, and embrace the sincere idealism she
professes? Or, like Richard Nixon, will she allow the darker angels
of her nature to overcome her, jeopardizing herself and the country
in the process? As Rewriting History suggests, we can only hope
that Hillary Clinton's past performance is no guarantee of future
results.
For the last twenty years this book has been cited by every serious
writer on early American constitutional development. Any
constitutional history of the independent United States must begin
with this comprehensive study. Professor Adams combines a European
perspective and a thorough knowledge of the antecedents of 1787 to
create an insightful analysis of the replacement by the
revolutionary generation of one government by another by-they
thought-"constitutional" means. Acting for "the people" in 11 of
the 13 rebelling states, various kinds of self-empowered
committees, "congresses," or "conventions" created new
constitutions and a system in which the states dominated over the
weaker Confederation government. This volume contains two new
chapters: one demonstrating precedents in the state constitutions
for the U.S. Constitution, and another chapter critically testing
the "republicanism over liberalism" thesis against political ideas
and institutional arrangements that constitute the first state
constitutions. The bibliography has been updated to include the
rich body of work written during the last two decades, much of it
indebted to this pioneering study.
In this masterly account of the Philadelphia summer when our
Constitution was born, Clinton Rossiter establishes his claim that
the year 1787 is preeminent in American history. Bringing to life
the setting and the challenge, he shows how the delegates hammered
out the document on which our government and institutions rest
today.
