NIXON, GEORGE BUSH, WALTER CRONKITE, DAN RATHER, GERALD FORD, HENRY KISSINGER, DANIEL SCHORR, PATRICK LEAHY, Jacket, xii, [4], 432 pages. Illustrations. Chapter Work Notes, Sources, Afterthoughts and Observations. Index. Minor DJ wear. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads: To my friends Pat and Marcelle, All the Best! Bob Scheiffer. This was inscribed to Senator Patrick Leahy! In this memoir, Bob Schieffer takes readers behind the cameras to look at his 40-year career, which includes the inside dope on all the major events of the second half of the 20th century and the people behind them, from John F. Kennedy to the Bush White House. Bob Lloyd Schieffer (born February 25, 1937) is an American television journalist. He is known for his moderation of presidential debates, where he has been praised for his capability. Schieffer is one of the few journalists to have covered all four of the major Washington national assignments: the White House, the Pentagon, U. S. Department of State, and United States Congress. His career with CBS has almost exclusively dealt with national politics. He has interviewed every U. S. President since Richard Nixon, as well as most of those who sought the office. Following his retirement from Face the Nation, Schieffer has continued to work for CBS as a contributor, giving political commentary covering the 2016 presidential election. Schieffer is currently releasing episodes of a podcast, "Bob Schieffer's 'About the News' with H. Andrew Schwartz". Schieffer has written three books: Face the Nation: My Favorite Stories from the First 50 Years of the Award-Winning News Broadcast, This Just In: What I Couldn't Tell You on TV, and Bob Schieffer's America. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: It might not have occurred to anyone to clamor for longtime CBS reporter Schieffer's memoir, but now that it's in print, it makes for a highly engaging read. He's seen it all and has much wisdom about journalism and governance to impart. The book spans virtually every important domestic story of the past 40-odd years; among his captivating subjects are the 1962 integration of the University of Alabama, JFK's assassination, Vietnam, Nixon-era peace protests and Watergate. The book's emphasis changes subtly from events to personalities when Schieffer takes over Face the Nation. As the subtitle suggests, Schieffer wisely forgoes rehashing familiar tales like Watergate or the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal in favor of revealing the background action that went unreported at the time. He structures the book as a collection of anecdotes, and Schieffer has a sharp eye for intriguing details and an instinct for maintaining the proper focus on his subjects rather than on himself. The telling is so unfussy, modest and straightforward that it rarely prompts speculation about the juicy bits that he couldn't write in a book. Indeed, the work succeeds not only as a primer on broadcast journalism but also as an informal history of America over the past 40 years. Patrick Joseph Leahy (born March 31, 1940) is an American politician and attorney who served as a United States senator from Vermont from 1975 to 2023, and also served as the president pro tempore of the United States Senate from 2012 to 2015 and from 2021 to 2023. A member of the Democratic Party, he chaired the Senate Appropriations Committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate Agriculture Committee at various points during his 48-year tenure. Leahy is the third-longest-serving U.S. senator in history. After Leahy retired from the Senate in 2023, Mayor Miro Weinberger announced that Burlington International Airport would be renamed for Leahy. Leahy expressed gratitude following the announcement, saying, "I am gratified that the airport where I took my first flight as a teenager is now well-positioned for Vermont's future., Books<
