Statesmen and Mischief Makers:

History has produced many individuals who have impacted the times. Some are well known, others barely recognized. My book follows two paths. One examines officeholders who served between 1960 and 1988, famous or obscure, whose actions gave way to an even more famous person''s career. Others are Governors credited with shaping the modern developments of their home states.

A number of my subjects are as scrupulous as can be. Others got sidelined by scandals one can''t even make up. As for the rest. Well, let''s just say they have a great story that few know, but deserve to be told.

My book shares more than 150 stories of politicians, elections, and the environment of the period. Each of my 150 subjects is accompanied by a tidbit/anomaly that will enlighten all. Many are unsung outside their home states. Hopefully, my book will change that.
