Sorry for venting here but I FAXED the Knopf company and asked for a book review copy of Master Of The Senate and never heard back from them. Hey, Knopf, so what is Ol' PJ here? Chopped liver? I already posted on the world's BUSIEST forum (FR) about why I thought Caro's previous two volumes were the GREATEST political biographies ever written so I was sort of hoping that Knopf would have sent me a book review copy so that I could review this book for you in MORE DETAIL than O'Billovich. Anybody out there with connections with Knopf publishing? If so tell them to get their A** in gear and send me a book review copy of this book. You can Freep Mail me with the good news on this....if you have any.
Just got finished reading a book on George Wallace. The author describes in detail a conversation LBJ had with Wallace in which he used the "n" word numerous times. Hardly the sort of behavior one would expect from a hero of the civil rights establishment.
