The Center: People and Power in Political Washington by Stewart Alsop
The Center is a must-read for anyone interested in American politics during the 1960s. Alsop knew Washington like no other. He was at his desk for so many significant events in American life at the time such as the Vietnam War, the murders of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the riots at the Democratic convention in Chicago, and the riots in many American cities. You get it all here in THE CENTER. Alsop was a skillful and incisive commentator and it here for you to enjoy and to learn.
A journalist documents his fight and loosing to malignancy and the trials he goes through to fight to the end. Read many years ago I still remember his anguish at the interminable blood tests.
