Voters in Ohio, when asked by pollsters to list what stuck in their minds about the 2004 presidential campaign, most frequently named two Bush television ads that played to fears of terrorism. We live in an age when the 30-second television spot is the most powerful force shaping the electorates thinking, and America is in the hands of an administration less interested than any previous administration in sharing the truth with the citizenry. Of even greater concern is this administrations disinterest in the process by which the truth is ascertained, the tenets of fact-based reasoning--first among them an embrace of open inquiry, in which unexpected and even inconvenient facts can lead to unexpected conclusions. How did we get here? Al Gores goal is to explain how the public sphere itself has evolved into a place hospitable to reasons enemies ; to make us more aware of the forces at work on our own minds ; and to lead us to an understanding of what we can do, individually and collectively, to restore the rule of reason and safeguard our future.

As the presidents senior adviser, he saw it all - the endless arguments, the back-hall scheming, the protracted decisions, and the last-minute flip-flops that somehow produced real accomplishments but also set in motion an almost tragic series of events that placed the fate of the president in the hands of the Senate. When Stephanopoulos first met Bill Clinton in September of 1991, he was thirty years old, and like so many others before and since, he was dazzled by the brilliance, charisma, lofty goals, and astonishing empathy of this remarkably gifted politician. Here was the perfect star for an ambitious young man to hitch himself to, yet little did he anticipate what an amazing rollercoaster ride it would be - both for the administration and for Stephanopoulos. Throughout the chaos and camaraderie, the breathtaking triumphs and disasters, Stephanopoulos clung to his vision of what a Clinton presidency could be, even as he began to see the hidden, dark compartments in the man that would bring him and the nation to such grief.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=281753 In the summer of 1995, Monica Lewinsky, then twenty-one years old and fresh out of college, went to work as an unpaid intern at the White House.
