2 comments about Never Trust a Local: Inside Nixon's Campaign And the White House.

1. This book by a new author presents a fresh, insighful view of what it was like to work in the Nixon white house. Stuart, an "advance" man, who played a number of roles during his tenure, tells stories about well-known national and international figures of the Nixon years. There are also episodes about bit players you may have forgotten about. He tells a wrenching tale about the personal costs incurred by those caught up in the Watergate web. I'll be looking forward to the sequel!



2. For anyone interested in what it's really like to work on a presidential campaign, or work in the White House, this book is for you. In fact, it makes you want to sign up to work for a candidate in '08. Inspiring and fact-filled with "insider" revelations, it should interest everyone who wants to know what it's like to "be there." In addition, there are some great (and unknown) tidbits interwoven from the Nixon era. If you like politics, you'll like this book.

2 comments about Rafiq Hariri and the Fate of Lebanon.

1. 
   
   The murder of Lebanon's Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri is enigmatic and perplexing.
   To probe to the bottom is one thing, but to spread the truthful details of the investigation is another?
   
   Actually the persons who stand to suffer most are his direct family members and kinfolks, and the hundreds of thousands of his Lebanese (and Arab) supporters who looked at the late PM with genuine feelings of hope.
   Hariri was a man full of inspiration and creativity.
   We are hoping against hope for a change in fortunes that the investigation will lead, this time, to the `perpetrator' and to the `instigator'.
   Reading Iskandar's book takes you to the `golden' years in which Lebanon threw away its gruffly shroud to myriads of bright spots kicking off with Beirut.
   A dream relived.



2. While the book is well written, yet it is a baised account by one of the Hariri family closest associates whose livelihood depended on work with Rafic Hariri. This is not an accusation, but of course the author would not mention all the bade side of the Hariri saga and the corruption that imprinted his business dealings, which was revealed in several more objective accounts. Fortune magazine put Hariri's fortune by his admission at 4 billion dollars in 2004; yet when he was murdered in Feb 2005, the same magazine reported that his children inherited 16 billion dollars. One cannot use this book as a research reference for an academic work or an objective portrayal of the man. However, the author's facts about the economy are almost OK.
