Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 802
Book Description
Ten years after one of the most polarizing political scandals in American history, author Ken Gormley offers an insightful, balanced, and revealing analysis of the events leading up to the impeachment trial of President William Jefferson Clinton. From Ken Starr’s initial Whitewater investigation through the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit, to the Monica Lewinsky affair and Brett Kavanaugh's role in the subsequent inquiry, The Death of American Virtue is a gripping chronicle of an ever-escalating political feeding frenzy.

Drawing on never-before-released records and documents—including the Justice Department’s internal investigation into Starr, new details concerning the death of Vince Foster, and evidence from lawyers on both sides—Gormley sheds new light on a dark and divisive chapter, the aftereffects of which are still being felt in today’s political climate.

The Love of a Good Woman
Author: Alice Munro
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
ISBN: 1551993988
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
In eight stories, a master of the form extends and magnifies her great themes—the vagaries of love, the passion that leads down unexpected paths, the chaos hovering just under the surface of things, and the strange, often comical desires of the human heart. Time stretches out in some of the stories: a man and a woman look back forty years to the summer they met—the summer, as it turns out, that the true nature of their lives was revealed. In others time is telescoped: a young girl finds in the course of an evening that the mother she adores, and whose fluttery sexuality she hopes to emulate, will not sustain her—she must count on herself. Some choices are made—in a will, in a decision to leave home—with irrevocable and surprising consequences. At other times disaster is courted or barely skirted: when a mother has a startling dream about her baby; when a woman, driving her grandchildren to visit the lakeside haunts of her youth, starts a game that could have dangerous consequences. The rich layering that gives Alice Munro's work so strong a sense of life is particularly apparent in the title story, in which the death of a local optometrist brings an entire town into focus—from the preadolescent boys who find his body, to the man who probably killed him, to the woman who must decide what to do about what she might know. Large, moving, profound, these are stories that extend the limits of fiction.

Summary of Andrew Morton's Monica's Story
Author: Everest Media,
Publisher: Everest Media LLC
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 55
Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1973, Marcia Lewinsky gave birth to her first child, Monica Samille. As the proud father, Bernie, looked on, the nurses who had helped Marcia through her longest day marveled at the beautiful long eyelashes of her seven-and-a-half-pound daughter. #2 Monica’s strength of will, which some might call obstinacy in one so young, surfaced again when her aunt Debra was due to marry her fiance Bill Finerman at his grandmother’s home in Beverly Hills in 1976. Monica insisted that her light-blue dress be sleeveless, and the bride had to cut the sleeves off. #3 While some have portrayed Marcia as a flighty socialite, she was actually a homebody who spent her time and energies on her children. She was a well-established private school with a rigorous academic and social reputation. #4 There were incidents at school, if not of physical bullying, at least of the casual cattiness and cliquishness of children, particularly girls, which often remain as a canker in the psyche well into adult life.
