Description
It is one of the most fundamental questions facing America today: How justifiably, or irresponsibly, do the volatile and unbiased American media--press, television and radio--attempt to interfere with, and control, the political process and the foreign policy of the nation? In a hotly fought Presidential primary, the news media fractures along ideological lines, supporting and distorting the candidates' records, manipulating the news rather than covering it. Capable of Honor, the third novel show more in the grand, bestselling Advise and Consent saga, is a compelling blockbuster that shines a harsh and revealing spotlight on how the media shapes the news, guides public opinion, creates policy--and tries to shape history itself. show lessTags

- The latest wacky rumor in this wacky city (reported one of the Washington Evening Star's many lady columnists in Monday's paper) is that Patsy Jason Labaiya, sister of Presidential Likely Gov. Ted Jason of California and wife... (show all) of Panamanian Ambassador Felix Labaiya, will run for the U. S. Senate.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Gracefully the giant craft glided toward the runway, ten miles from the great white city on the Potomac where the hopes and dreams, the triumphs and failures, the pasts and futures of so many men and causes were centered, while all around the lovely rolling green countryside drowsed in the peaceful heat of a soft, exhausted twilight, late in the month of July.
