The gray cloth boards are in near fine condition with slightest bumps of spine top and bottom. The dust jacket is in near fine condition (slight crinkling top and bottom). 9 ¼ x 6 ¼, 150 pages, 14 ounces XX [From the dust jacket] Every American is fascinated by headlines that expose the personal weaknesses of public officials, especially those so called "capitol sins" that take place behind closed doors. But congressman Paul Simon asks, "What really is political morality?" Does it have to do with a senator's or congressman's private life, or how he or she exercises power for the public service ? or disservice?of others? Unafraid to be specific, or even to reveal his own failings as an elected official, Simon contrasts, for instance, the lethargic response of many public figures to hunger and the nuclear threat with their often self-righteous trumpeting of marginal issues, and shows that a politician's struggle to do what is right and just is a complex issue, made up of hundreds of important choices that never make headlines and are not easy?either for the conscientious public official or for the conscientious citizens who select, or reject, their leaders. Simon tackles such issues with moral implications as honesty, time, money, campaigning, "religion," relations with the media, personal behavior versus public service, abortion, lobbying, self-restraint versus leadership, the two-party system, and the "god" of public opinion. He provides an unsparing look at the real criteria for political morality as actually manifested in some of our nation's most powerful men and women, and the people who support them?or ignore them. Paul Simon is qualified to tell the essential story of politics and morality in government through his experience and reputation: his background includes nine years in the U.S. House of Representatives, four years as Lieutenant Governor of Illinois, and fourteen years in the Illinois General Assembly; he has not only been identified in a Jack Anderson poll as one of America's "most popular" congressmen but also headed a list called "models of integrity." He has now written the first book on political morality that is not moralistic but candid, honest, and potentially healing. PAUL SIMON, Democratic Congressman from Illinois, is a former newspaper writer and publisher who has also authored several critically acclaimed books, including The Tongue-Tied American and The Once and Future Democrats.
