Inscription reads: For Vic, With many thanks for your help & your friendship. Lynne Cheney, Sept 95. Lynne Ann Cheney (née Vincent; born August 14, 1941) is an American author, scholar, and former talk-show host. She is married to the 46th vice president of the United States, Dick Cheney, and served as the second lady of the United States from 2001 to 2009. Cheney served as the sixth chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities from 1986 to 1993. In 1995, she founded American Council of Trustees and Alumni, a think tank devoted to reforming higher education. A defense of truth and standards against the relativism that threatens American culture and society. Derived from a Kirkus review: The conservative author fires this latest salvo in the culture wars.

It's a challenging argument indeed, one that deserves a this thoughtful champion. Cheney's avowed aims here are to examine the origins and legitimacy of ``radical skepticism'' and to suggest means by which truth and reason can be restored to their proper places. She denounces revisionist historians' habit of discouraging any ``search for a complicated truth.'' She pins much of the blame for the sad state of contemporary American culture on the unholy triumvirate of Andrea Dworkin, Catharine MacKinnon, and Michel Foucault. The wife of the former defense secretary is shocked at accusations that she might have politicized the NEH. She adroitly pins the many abuses she uncovers, from college students' buying A's by aping their teachers' views to biased reporting of presidential campaigns, on the Left. Books like this encourage bonding among the political thinkers.…
