Synopsis
From Square Peg: I had been a Senator only a few weeks when one night I noticed James Eastland walking toward me on the Senate floor. At the time, he was a titan, one of a small group of men who ruled their committees like lords in the Middle Ages. Their will was never challenged; their decisions were never questioned. Eastland was a chairman's chairman, a son of the South, a master of the rules and a man with an unshakable contempt for the foolish and, worse, the inexperienced. "Hatch," he barked, "how about going to dinner?" "I'd be delighted," I said quickly, having no intention of refusing. I was the newest member of his committee and had the most to lose from his displeasure. "After we had ordered, Eastland fell silent. For twenty minutes, I said nothing, waiting for him to speak. He puffed on his cigar and worked on a large bowl of soup, the whole time glaring into the distance. I began to wonder if I'd made a mistake, if I wasn't supposed to be there. Suddenly Eastland looked over at me, his face in a snarl. "Hatch," he snapped. "Yes, sir?" "Do you think we can save this country?" "Oh, yes, sir," I said, bushy-tailed with enthusiasm. "Bullshit," Eastland growled.

Square Peg (Paperback)
Seller: CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Humor, acumen and a reasonable degree of candor. Both Democrats and Republicans could gain from reading this book." - The Los Angeles Times . From Orrin Hatch, one of the most widely respected and best-known legislators in America, comes a deeply personal book: part essay on how politics should be practiced, part memoir of how he has tried to embody those principles during his long and very successful tenure in the U.S. Senate-the only public office he's ever held. Hatch addresses the true role of a public servant, the importance of having convictions and when to yield on them, and how a politician survives personal attacks. He gives behind-the-scenes insights into what really went on during the Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, and the Clinton impeachment hearings. And he stakes his position in the debate over human cloning and stem cell research. This is a surprising book from one of the great political mavericks of our time. From Orrin Hatch, one of the most widely respected and best-known legislators in America, comes a deeply personal book: part essay on how politics should be practised, part memoir of how he has tried to embody those principles during his long and very successful tenure in the US.
