About this Item

First Edition -- Inscribed to President Gerald Ford's Press Secretary Ron Nessen -- of this quite interesting mediation on how broader and deeper public perceptions of what the President of the United States embodies beyond the individual's role as chief executive of the operational branch of U.S. government. God-King, for instance, is among The President's potential unwritten, symbolic roles in Novak's analysis. Novak works from an interesting vantage point -- while neither seer nor oracle, Novak's job titles included political operative, journalist, and philosopher. Novak tracks the efforts of 1972 presidential aspirants to establish a God-Kingish vibe with President Richard Nixon prevailing to wield the veto pen and wear the symbolic crown. Inscribed by Michael Novak to Ron Nessen on the front endpaper. 324 pages, cloth. The has creases on several internal pages. The dust jacket has light edge wear.
