Hard Back. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Feingold, Deborah - Cover Photography (illustrator). First Edition Stated. 372 Pages Indexed. October 1989 Edition. White boards, black quarter spine with gold lettering and red endpapers. To realize your biggest dreams you must scheme and connive and convince others to play along with you, says AI Neuharth, founder of USA Today and former chairman of Gannett. This is much more than a story about newspapers or about big business. It's a blueprint for men and women in any field to deliver on their own dreams. And it's developed by a once poor country kid from South Dakota who became a multimillionaire media mogul. The person who created the country's first national general-interest newspaper while everybody else said it couldn't be done-tells how he did it. Neuharth takes you inside boardrooms and newsrooms. He reveals how he developed his maverick management style and with it revolutionized Gannett, from a small group of what were called shit-kicker newspapers to a global media giant. His unusually candid account of success and failure is no-holds-barred, no names spared. Neuharth advises those who want to move up in their world --- How to be ready always to rock the boat. How to best the boss. How to beat backbiting with backbone. How to write your own rules and form your own club. How to wear a bull's-eye on your chest and shake off the darts and arrows that hit you. How to get what you want by using the right mix of niceness and nastiness. How to stop critics from compromising your dreams. Above all, how to have fun playing the game. Yet despite Neuharth's huge successes, he shows how a few failures along the way can be good for you. He details how his own naivete doomed his first business venture when he was twentynine. And how his ego killed what would have been the world's biggest media merger when he was sixty-one. Neuharth retired as Gannett chairman in 1989, at age sixty-five. He writes a weekly column called Plain Talk for USA TODAY and other Gannett newspapers. He does his writing on a 1926 Royal typewriter in a treehouse he built at Pumpkin enter, his seven-acre oceanfront estate in Cocoa Beach, Florida. From there, he overlooks the launchpads of the Kennedy Space Center, where Neuharth says there is more vision per square mile than anywhere else in the world.

"This book needed to be written, needed to be published, and needs to be read. Best of all, it's great fun to read." -- Brit Hume. "End of Discussion will actually start more conversations than it finishes. Mary Katharine and Guy are two of the bright stars of conservative commentary, and their insight and humor comes together well to showcase the absurdities of manufactured outrage and the benefits of taking a breath before launching an attack." -- Dana Periono, former White House press secretary and co-host of The Five on Fox News. "A brilliant expose of the Left's outrageous outrage over EVERYTHING! Free speech isn't free. It must be fought for. Get in the fight with this FANTASTIC book!" -- Brad Thor. "I can't thing of any two people more qualified to expose the Left's decidedly undemocratic efforts to silence opposing views. With their characteristic wit and humor, they take on the outrage industrial complex on behalf of fun -- and freedom-loving Americans everywhere." -- S.E. Cupp. "Will make you laugh -- and cry -- at a world where honest debate is all too rare." -- Juan Williams, Fox News liberal analyst. "Come for the writing and the humor, stay for the point: The 'outrage industry' is destroying politics. Benson and Ham have diagnosed a new kind of media cancer, one that is metastasizing and eating away at our ability to survive as a free people, freely debating our future. Yes, that sounds serious for a book with as wornderfully light a touch as this, and one so full of laugh-out-loud moments. But it is true. That's why you need to read this book." - Hugh Hewitt. "They want to shut you up. But don't let this be the End of Discussion. In this fresh and provocative new book, Mary Katharine Ham and Guy Benson, dynamic Fox News and Townhall Media duo, expose how the Left exploits fake outrage to silence their political opponents -- in public, on social media, at work, and even in theri own homes. End of Discussion encourages all Americans who value the open exchange of ideas to fight back against this strategic effort to make America less free, less feisty, and less fun. Ham and Benson demonstrate just how dangerous the outrage industry -- a coalition of mostly liberal blowhards and busy-bodies -- is to democracy. This media frenzy: Disqualifies opposing viewpoints on everything from health care to infrastructure to education by labeling them racist, sexist, and evil; Punishes speech that makes them uncomfortable; Demands boycotts, firings, regulations, and other economic costs for the sin of disagreeing with them; Seeks to win the debate by preventing it from happening. If you think this behavior is relegated to political fights or politicians, think again. A network of well-trained operatives, nonprfit groups, PR firms, universities, politicians, and "thought leaders" exists to foment outrage over YOUR association with the "wrong" fried chicken joints, internet browsers, breast cancer charities, children's toys, Halloween costumes, TV shows, schools, and even comedians' jokes. With Ham and Benson's help, readers can cut through the noise and find their voices again, fighting back against the rampant self-censorship and hair-trigger apologies that always make things worse, not better. With fresh reporting and insightful, occasionally tongue-in-cheed, analysis, End of Discussion is a timely handbook for anyone who wants to make sure debate doesn't meet an ugly death." -- excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

As new condition navy blue boards with red spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Laura Ingraham; Author Dedication; Introduction: An Early Warning Sign; Acknowledgments, Notes, and Index. "Americans didn't just go to the polls in 2016. They joined a movement that swept the unlikeliest of candidates, Donald J. Trump, into the Oval Office. But can he complete his agenda? Or will his opponents in the media, the protestor class, and the bipartisan political establishment block his efforts and choke off the movement he represents? In Billionaire at the Barricades, bestselling author Laura Ingraham - the most listened-to woman in political talk radio - gives readers a front row seat to the seminal moments of the populist revolution as she witnessed it. In a work at once personal and prescient, Ingraham reveals the origins of this misunderstood movement and its connection to the Trump presidency. She unmasks the opposition, forecasts the future of the "Make America Great Again" agenda, and offers her own prescriptions for bringing real change to the swamp of Washington. Unlike so many of her media colleagues, Ingraham instantly grasped Trump's appeal and defied those who repeatedly wrote his political obituary. Now she confronts the president's critics and responds to those who deny the bipartisan appeal of his populist, pro-life, pro-growth, America First agenda. The Trump agenda cannot be considered in isolation but is the fulfillment of a movement's yearnings, Ingraham writes. With sharp humor and insight she traces the DNA of the populist movement from Barry Goldwater's quixotic 1964 campaign, to Richard Nixon's Silent Majority, to Ronald Reagan's smashing electoral victories. Populism fueled the insurgency campaigns f Buchanan and Perot, the election of George W. Bush, and the Tea Party rallies during the Obama presidency. But it was a political novice, a Manhattan billionaire, who would prove the movement's most vocal champion. This is the inside story of his victory and the fitful struggle to enact his agenda. Ingraham reveals previously unreported details behind Trump's victory and outlines the pitfalls ahead, mapping out where she thinks the populist revolution should (and will) take this country - whether fully realized by this administration or not. No politically engaged American can afford to ignore Ingraham's definitive take on the past, present, and future of the populist movement." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders served as White House Press Secretary for President Donald J. Trump from 2017 to 2019. A trusted confidante of the president, Sanders advised him on everything from press and communications strategy to personnel and policy. She was at the president's side for two and a half years, briefing and battling with the media, working with lawmakers and senior administration officials, and accompanying the president on every international trip, including crucial meetings with foreign leaders. In Speaking for Myself, Sarah Huckabee Sanders describes what it was like on the frontlines and inside the White House. She reveals fascinating firsthand details about a range of subjects, including: Her account of what President Trump is really like and the stakes in the 2020 election; The historic summit between President Trump and North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong-un; Trump's confrontation with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer over the wall and immigration policy; The Russia witch hunt and her interview with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team; Fighting back against attacks from the liberal mob at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, the Red Hen, and during the Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation battle; Maintaining her priorities of faith and family. This frank, revealing, and engaging memoir offers a truly unique perspective on the most important issues and events of the era, and unprecedented access to both public and behind-the-scenes conversations within the Trump White House." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Includes Authors' Dedications; Introduction: Sunday Morning or Monday Night, There's Never a Bad Time for Football and Acknowledgments. "Phil Simms on Football: On Separating Football Myths from Reality: Myth: The reason they lost is because they didn't make any halftime adjustments. Reality: In fifteen years of playing, I can't remember even two adjustments we made at halftime. As a player, sure, I was part of conversations in the locker room at halftime that went something like this: "Hey, we called a couple of plays that didn't work. Let's not call them anymore and call some new ones." If that qualifies as an "adjustment", fine. On Cabin Fever, or Knowing When It's Over: You play without fear. You never worry about getting hit. I think all players are like that. Once you start to think that you don't want to get hit, a lot of times that's when your career's in trouble. Because when you start thinking about cutting down hits, it's going to affect your judgment as a player. Cabin fever is when you get a little claustrophobic as you drop back because there are a lot of people around you, and you think about not wanting to take that punishment. It's a quarterback who gets antsy, who moves before he should, who throws the ball away a little before he should, who isn't seeing down the field as clearly as he should. Cabin fever is a disease and it is terminal for a quarterback in the National Football League. On Taking Charge: " You see all these guys up here?" Bill Parcells said to me, pointing to the offensive linemen. "You used to be their leader. They used to fear you. They were afraid for their guy to hit you because they knew you'd jump their ass. But no. Now you're their little buddy. Buddy, buddy, buddy. Take us out to dinner, Phil. Yeah, take them out to dinner. Spoil their damn ass. Don't be a leader anymore. No wonder they don't protect you. Simms, I don't need a cruise director. I need a battleship commander!" -- from the rear outer jacket. "An in-depth and surprising look at the game, Sunday Morning Quarterback will dramatically change the way you watch football. You've heard all the football cliches: "Their offense is too predictable," or "They've got to win the turnover battle," or "They didn't make any halftime adjustments." Perhaps you've heard them so often that you've come to see them as obvious truths. Phil Simms, after an illustrious career as a Super Bowl-winning quarterbakc and a broadcaster, is here to tell you that these -- and many other blanket statements taken as gospel -- are all myths, and whoever says them has no idea of what they're talking about. Drilling deep into the core of football, Simms also shows the hidden signs that players look for that can determine the outcome of a game. Whether it's discovering how a linebacker positions his feet before he blitzes or how to react if the safety is eight or nine yards from the line of scrimmage, knowing these "dirty little secrets" gives players and their coaches a tremendous advantage. In addition, Simms shares his insights into the enormous challenges coaches face in today's game, evaluating the top coaches and what makes them successful. He takes a look at some of the greatest players he's played with and against, and what he misses most about the game -- waking up Monday mornings feeling beat up and sore. He looks at the next generation of football players -- his son, Tampa Bay's Chris Simms, among them. Through it all, Simms shares stories from his playing days with Bill Parcells and the New York Giants, and the inside access he's had as an annoucner for one of the top NFL broadcasting teams in football. Fun and lively, Sunday Morning Quarterback should be required reading for anyone who loves football." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flap.

But now I was part of the decision-making apparatus of the federal government - the tiniest possible part, to be sure, but a part all the same. I was no longer on the outside looking in. You can't live in Washington for very long without becoming cynical about politicians and their motives. But I've never doubted the greatness of a country in which a person like me could travel all the way from Pinpoint to Capital Hill." - from the rear outer dust jacket. "Provocative, inspiring, and unflinchingly honest, My Grandfather's Son is the story of one of America's most remarkable and controversial leaders, Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, told in his own words. Thomas was born in rural Georgia on June 23, 1948, into a life marked by poverty and hunger. His parents divorced when Thomas was still a baby, and his father moved north to Philadelphia, leaving his young mother to raise him and his brother and sister on the ten dollars a week she earned as a maid. At age seven, Thomas and his six-year-old brother were sent to live with his mother's father, Myers Anderson, and her stepmother in their Savannah home. It was a move that would forever change Thomas's life. His grandfather, whom he called "Daddy," was a black man with a strict work ethic, trying to raise a family in the years of Jim Crow. Thomas witnessed his grandparents' steadfastness despite injustices, their hopefulness despite bigotry, and their deep love for their country. His own quiet ambition would propel him to Holy Cross and Yale Law School, and eventually - despite a bitter, highly contested public confirmation - to the highest court in the land. In this candid and deeply moving memoir, a Quintessential American tale of hardship and grit, Clarence Thomas recounts his astonishing journey for the first time, and pays homage to the man who made it possible. Intimately and eloquently, Thomas speaks out, revealing the pieces of his life he holds dear, detailing the suffering and injustices he has overcome, including the acrimonious and polarizing Senate hearing involving a former aide, Anita Hill, and the depression and despair it created in his own life and the lives of those closest to him. [The book] is the story of a determined man whose faith, courage, and perseverance inspired him to rise up against all odds and achieve his dreams." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

DJ has slight wear and soiling. From Wikipedia: "Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is the 44th President of the United States, and the first African American to hold the office. Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as president of the Harvard Law Review. He worked as a civil rights attorney and taught constitutional law at University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. He served three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. In 2004, Obama received national attention with his victory in the March Democratic Party primary, his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July, and his election to the Senate in November. He defeated Republican nominee John McCain in the general election, and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. Obama was reelected president in November 2012, defeating Republican nominee Mitt Romney, and was sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2013." The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream is the second book written by then-Senator Barack Obama. It became number one on both the New York Times and Amazon bestsellers lists in the fall of 2006, after Obama had been endorsed by Oprah Winfrey. In the book, Obama expounds on many of the subjects that became part of his 2008 campaign for the presidency. The book advance from the publisher totaled $1.9 million contracted for three books. Obama announced his ultimately successful presidential campaign on February 10, 2007, a little more than three months after the book's release. The title of The Audacity of Hope was derived from a sermon delivered by Barack Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. Wright had attended a lecture by Frederick G. Sampson in Richmond, Virginia, in the late 1980s, on the G. F. Watts painting Hope, which inspired him to give a sermon in 1990 based on the subject of the painting - "with her clothes in rags, her body scarred and bruised and bleeding, her harp all but destroyed and with only one string left, she had the audacity to make music and praise God . To take the one string you have left and to have the audacity to hope . that's the real word God will have us hear from this passage and from Watt's painting." Having attended Wright's sermon, Obama later adapted Wright's phrase "audacity to hope" to "audacity of hope" which became the title for his 2004 Democratic National Convention keynote address, and the title of his second book. While a Senate candidate, Obama delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic Convention, entitled The Audacity of Hope that propelled him to national prominence. In the less than twenty minutes it took to deliver the speech, Obama was catapulted to sudden fame, with many analysts predicting that he might be well positioned to enter a future presidential race. In 2006, Obama released The Audacity of Hope, a book-length account that expanded upon many of the same themes he originally addressed in the convention speech. First edition. First Edition [stated].

Some page discoloration noted. Review comment sticker on the front of the DJ. Christopher Whitcomb is an American author and former member of the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team. He also appeared as an "expert" on the NBC game show Identity. Whitcomb spent 15 years with the FBI, and worked on many high-profile cases. These included the Waco Siege, LA Riots, and Ruby Ridge. His final assignment with the FBI consisted of working with the Critical Incident Response Group. Whitcomb began his FBI career in 1987, as a Special Agent in the Kansas City Field Office, where he distinguished himself as an assaulter and sniper, winning the FBI's Medal of Bravery for exceptional courage in the line of duty. He has participated in nearly every high-profile federal investigation over the past 10 years, including the L.A. riots, shootings at Ruby Ridge, the Branch Davidian standoff, the World Trade Center and Olympic bombings, the Montana Militia standoff, overseas fugitive apprehensions, dignitary protection details, witness protection, investigation into the war crimes in Kosovo and the Cole bombing in Yemen. In 1997, Whitcomb was promoted to supervisor and became an interview/interrogation instructor at the FBI academy in Quantico. He created the NACBOMB: Integrated Case Scenario, a 16-week curriculum that serves as the basis for all FBI new agent training. He has instructed hundreds of different local, state, federal, and foreign law enforcement agents/officers, including UNSCOM weapons inspectors in Iraq. Prior to joining the FBI, Whitcomb worked two years as speechwriter and press secretary to U.S. Representative Silvio O. Conte (R-MA), the ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee. He is a former reporter and feature writer. Cold Zero is a blistering first-person account of life inside the FBI and its elite Hostage Rescue Team. Of the hundreds of thousands of U.S. law enforcement officers, only 200 have ever been in Christopher Whitcomb's highly trained and specialized branch of the FBI. Equivalent to the Navy's SEALs and the Army's Delta Force, the Hostage Rescue Team is charged with terrorist capture, hostage release, and other emergencies in the United States and around the world. Whitcomb is the first HRT member ever to write about his experience. After joining the HRT in 1991, Whitcomb was sent on missions to Ruby Ridge, Waco, and Kosovo. Derived from a Kirkus review: A cocky yet intelligent account of the making and actions of an FBI Hostage Rescue Team operator, by one of their own. After a painful amount of training, the Hostage Rescue Team, like firefighters and spies, sit through long periods of tedium, interrupted by furious, adrenaline-charged activity. Special Agent Whitcomb very neatly blends his tough guy patter with unexpected and pleasing wordplay: "Even at 2:07 a.m., the air feels rheumy against my skin." He explains how he got involved in the FBI in the first place; his extensive academy training; a whole lot of technical information on the tools of his trade; his first years on the job; and his preparation to join the Hostage Rescue Team as a sniper. This is all impressive stuff, but the meat of the story comes in the blow-by-blow narratives of his more high-profile missions. These include the unpleasantness up on Ruby Ridge in Idaho, busts of drug gangs, and a journey into the killing grounds of Kosovo. Most dreadfully, he was also part of the disaster in Waco. Whitcomb is not your standard-issue killing machine; he has feelings and he is not afraid to speak them. The gassing and deaths of children at the Branch Davidian compound tear him to pieces, but as he notes, it took the FBI apart as well. He believes that a better organization can rise in its stead, that "we could heal," and so he keeps at the job, understanding that he can do good in the shadow of the past. Whitcomb is just the kind of guy who could restore a bit of faith in th.

Ann Hart Coulter (born December 8, 1961) is an American conservative media pundit, author, syndicated columnist, and lawyer. She became known as a media pundit in the late 1990s, appearing in print and on cable news as an outspoken critic of the Clinton administration. Her first book concerned the impeachment of Bill Clinton and sprang from her experience writing legal briefs for Paula Jones's attorneys, as well as columns she wrote about the cases. Coulter's syndicated column for Universal Press Syndicate appears in newspapers and is featured on conservative websites. Coulter has also written 13 books. After working in New York City in private practice, Coulter left to work for the United States Senate Judiciary Committee after the Republican Party took control of Congress in 1994. She handled crime and immigration issues for Senator Spencer Abraham of Michigan and helped craft legislation designed to expedite the deportation of aliens convicted of felonies. Crown Forum published a collection of Coulter's columns in 2004 as her fourth book, How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must). Coulter made her first national media appearance in 1996 after she was hired by the then-fledgling network MSNBC as a legal correspondent. She later appeared on CNN and Fox News,[56] and went on to make frequent guest appearances on many television and radio talk shows. Welcome to the world of Ann Coulter. With her monumental bestsellers Treason, Slander, and High Crimes and Misdemeanors, Coulter has become the most recognized and talked-about conservative intellectual in yearsâ"and certainly the most controversial. Now, in How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), which is sure to ignite impassioned debate, she offers her most comprehensive analysis of the American political scene to date. With incisive reasoning, refreshing candor, and razor-sharp wit, she reveals just why liberals have got it so wrong. In this powerful and entertaining book, which draws on her weekly columns, Coulter ranges far and wide. No subject is off-limits, and no comment is left unsaid. After all, she writes, "Nothing too extreme can be said about liberals because it's all true." How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) offers Coulter's unvarnished take on: The essence of being a liberal: "The absolute conviction that there is one set of rules for you, and another, completely different set of rules for everyone else." John Kerry: "A reporter asked Kerry, âAre you for or against gay marriage?' As usual, his answer was, âYes.' " Her 9/11 comments: "I am often asked if I still think we should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity. The answer is: Now more than ever!" The state of the Democratic Party: "Teddy Kennedy crawls out of Boston Harbor with a quart of Scotch in one pocket and a pair of pantyhose in the other, and Democrats hail him as their party's spiritual leader." Her philosophy for arguing with liberals: "Tough love, except I don't love them. My âtough love' approach is much like the Democrats' âmiddle-class tax cuts'â"everything but the last word." The "Treason Lobby": "Want to make liberals angry? Defend the United States." In this full-on Coulterpalooza, you'll find the real, uncensored Ann Coulter. A special concluding chapter even includes the pieces that squeamish editors refused to publishâ""what you could have read if you lived in a free country," says Coulter. How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) is a stunning reminder of why Ann Coulter's commentary has achieved must-read status. First U.S. Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].

"Provocative, inspiring, and unflinchingly honest, My Grandfather's Son is the story of one of America's most remarkable and controversial leaders, Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, told in his own words. Thomas was born in rural Georgia on June 23, 1948, into a life marked by poverty and hunger. His parents divorced when Thomas was still a baby, and his father moved north to Philadelphia, leaving his young mother to raise him and his brother and sister on the ten dollars a week she earned as a maid. At age seven, Thomas and his six-year-old brother were sent to live with his mother's father, Myers Anderson, and her stepmother in their Savannah home. It was a move that would forever change Thomas's life. His grandfather, whom he called "Daddy", was a black man with a strict work ethic, trying to raise a family in the years of Jim Crow. Thomas witnessed his grandparents' steadfastness despite injustices, their hopefulness despite bigotry, and their deep love for their country. His own quiet ambition would propel him to Holy Cross and Yale Law School, and eventually - despite a bitter, highly contested public confirmation - to the highest court in the land. In this candid and deeply moving memoir, a quintessential American tale of hardship and grit, Clarence Thomas recounts his astonishing journey for the first time, and pays homage to the man who made it possible.".

From learning these basics, you can then tackle the important inner work needed to transform yourself. After this inner work, you can turn to building a "success team" and the important ways of transforming your relationships for lasting success.
