European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 15, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse Reviews leading with my heart by Virginia Kelley Simon amp schuster. If the state of politics a especially the Whitewater mess a is giving you a headache the Best remedy i can think of is this autobiography of president Clinton smother who died in january. Written with free Lancer James Morgan from Little Rock the Book is astonishingly Good Reading presented in a believable True voice. It is also deliciously funny. Musing about the morning of Clinton a inauguration does Kelley rhapsody be about her son becoming the Leader of the free world nope. Instead she slips into a Riff about How she applies her makeup applying makeup apparently was a meditative exercise for Kelley a Way of looking herself straight in the Eye and figuring out How to Deal with life. On that inauguration Day she made the bed and watched can while her makeup dried hoping to Sec Bill. ,.v. / Quot a a a sometimes when i watch him i can separate the Man from my son a she wrote. A in those moments i see him As the world Leader he is the eloquent speaker and erudite thinker and Earnest consensus builder. Other times especially when he a hurting he a just a big old Gray headed version of my Little boy. Speaking of Bill hurting i also tune in so i can see what awful thing Bob Dole has said about my son since yesterday. Bill a above this sort of thing but in a keeping a Lois Blinkhorn Milwaukee journal beyond peace by Richard Nixon random House. V a. Of the dead speak nothing but Good it is said. But a Book remains alive even when published posthumously. So to any Reader impatient with the recent canonization of the 37th president of the United states the first to be forced to resign from office let it be said that there is lots to find fault with in Nixon a 10th and final Book which he completed just a few weeks before he died. He offers no apologies or expressions of Rue in this final summing up of his views nor any acknowledge ment of error. There is nothing even personal unless you count his observation that Boris Yeltsin a inclination to become depressed after winning a Battle a is not an uncommon characteristic of or his remark that Quot those of us who complain about the behaviour of today a Media must remember that similar complaints Are As old As the that familiar Clang of i authenticity sounds in these pages. You encounter his old tendency to aggrandize he Calls a the defeat of iraqi aggression in the persian Gulf War in the Spring of 1991�?� one a of the greatest events of the 20th Century a and he writes that a America is the greatest most successful social Experiment in the history of for All its irritations beyond peace is Nixon a Best Book. The former president was always strongest writing about foreign policy and the present Book was completed shortly after the much publicized visit to the Russia during which he met with several opposition leaders Over Yeltsin a objections. Where Nixon tended to slight the soviet Union in favor of China in some of his books Here he treats Post soviet Russia in Concrete and arresting detail. Nixon even includes a touch of unwonted humor in an account of an interview in March with Gen. Aleksandr Rutski that was made difficult by a the simultaneous and totally incomprehensible conversation Between two Large parrots in be Barate cages in the Middle of Rusk Oil a sitting Nixon adds a the Birds were not speaking English and i knew enough russian to know they weren to speaking As it turned out a they spoke Only Christopher Lehmann Haupt not Black Betty by Walter Mosely Norton. Mosley s first three novels a Devil in a Blue dress a red death and White Butterfly Are masterpieces of the murder detective genre because like All the Best mystery fiction anxious sociopaths on both sides of the Law dominate its Moody Center. Easy Rawlins a shorthand homage to Ralph Ellison a nameless alienated protagonist in invisible Man is the reluctant hero of these narratives that bestsellers a a a Abc Virginia Kelley a year before her january death. Mix identity politics class struggle and Urban nihilism in an entertaining literary Stew.

Easy a free Lance detective and Covert landlord watches helplessly As his meager real estate holdings disappear Down sinister Drain. Black Betty is the Best Book in the series so far and eschews the murkiness that flawed the last Quarter of Mosley a first Book. Its easy to see Why president Clinton called Mosley his favorite author. Where else can one find so entertaining a mix of sociology Black Power and.

Jessica Greenwood is faced with what she Calls a the vilest trick Ever played on a it seems her great aunt Hettie has left her Fortune to Jessica but there a a catch she must marry one of her four cousins within a year.

Doss like several other authors appears to be trying to Cash in on the southwestern mystery novel made popular by Best Selling author Tony Hiller Man. Like most of the other pretenders Doss Falls a bit Short. Much of the Indian lore a he has chosen the ule tribe a comes across As Pedantic rather than interesting. The love Story seems to be thrown in with Little development. The idea however is a Good one solving a mystery through the juxtaposition of Ute spirits and the White Colorado chief of police who has the ancient Power but does no to realize it.
