Hardcover. First edition. First Edition [stated]. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. xviii, 456, [5] p. Index. A savage dispatch from the 1996 campaign by an author whose last book was praised by the "Washington Times" as "among the best campaign writing ever and unquestionably the funniest since H.L. Mencken's". From the campaign finance scandals to why Clinton insisted his debates be 90 minutes long (that meant they went past Dole's usual 10: 00 p.m. bedtime) to the contenders for the next election, "Show Time" delivers an entertaining read. From Wikipedia: "Roger Simon is a writer and commentator, the chief political columnist of Politico. He has won more than three dozen first-place awards for journalism, and is the only person to win twice the American Society of Newspaper Editors Distinguished Writing Award for commentary. His book on the 1996 presidential race, Show Time, made the New York Times best-seller list in 1998. Simon was born in Chicago and received a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. Prior to joining Politico, Simon was a reporter or columnist for several newspapers, including the Waukegan, Illinois, News-Sun, the Baltimore Sun, and the Chicago Sun-Times. In 1998, he became the White House correspondent of the Chicago Tribune and covered the Monica Lewinsky scandal. In 1999, he joined U.S. News & World Report as chief political correspondent and then political editor. He joined Bloomberg News in January 2006 as its first chief political correspondent, and later joined Politico as its first chief political columnist. In April 1999, Simon was inducted into the Chicago Journalism Hall of Fame. Simon has been a Poynter Media Fellow at Yale University, a Hoover Media Fellow at Stanford University, and a Kennedy School of Government Institute of Politics Fellow at Harvard University. In April 2013 Simon won first place in the National Headliner Awards for a series of columns he wrote during the 2012 presidential campaign on the politics of gun control. The Headliner Awards program is one of the oldest and largest annual contests recognizing journalistic merit in the communications industry. Simon has won the award six times. In July 2013, Simon was awarded first place by the National Press Club in winning the Angele Gingras Humor Award. Judges said: "Simon's writing is witty, specific and based on sharp observations of politics and the media." In July 2011 Simon was nominated for an Online Journalism Award in the Commentary/Blogging, Large Site Division of the contest. Launched in 2000 and administered by the Online News Association, in partnership with the University of Miami s School of Communication, the OJAs are the only comprehensive set of journalism prizes honoring excellence in digital journalism, focusing on independent, community, nonprofit, major media and international news sites. Based in Washington, D.C., Simon contributes articles to national magazines and newspapers, and has appeared as a panelist or political analyst on numerous television and radio programs. Simon's syndicated columns are distributed by Creators Syndicate to newspapers throughout the world." Good in good dust jacket. Pencil erasure residue on fep.

Hardcover. Zustand: Collectible-Very Good. Show Time is about seduction - the seduction of a system, the seduction of a people, the seduction of a nation. It is also a riveting, rollicking, behind-the-curtain peek at the greatest show on earth: the modern American presidential campaign. 'This is not a country that elects an entertainer in chief', Newt Gingrich said at the beginning of the last presidential campaign. He could not have been more wrong. The candidate who refuses to entertain is doomed to defeat, a lesson that is already influencing the 2000 campaign. In 1996, no detail was too small to escape the attention of the Clinton juggernaut, from the height of the stage the president stood on (four feet, so people could wave signs and not block the TV cameras) to the color of the pom-poms people waved (orange for Arizona, green for Oregon) to the length of the debates with Bob Dole (ninety minutes instead of sixty to keep Dole up past his usual 10 P.M. bedtime). But despite the carefully constructed facade, campaigns are still about power, money, and manipulation - and no one is better equipped to reveal their underbelly than Roger Simon, whose Road Show was called by Time magazine 'the most fun you can have with a political book'.…
