The Big Enchilada

Stevens, one of the nation's top political consultants, was a hired gun from New York who was brought down to Texas by the normally insular Bush team to beef up their media strategy. He crafted TV and radio commercials, scheduled interviews and prepped Bush for debates. None of this might be interesting except to die-hard political junkies, but Stevens is a fluid writer who makes high drama out of even the most banal campaign moments. Equally energizing is Stevens's colorful (some might say vulgar) prose style.

Canaries in the Mineshaft: Essays on Politics and Media

Renata Adler is one of the most original, incisive and witty writers active in American letters today. Whether it be fiction, reportage or essay, her work is marked by a truly extraordinary intellect and a luminous prose that is penetrating, precise, deft and, often, very funny. In this new collection of essays, spanning three decades, Adler's wide-ranging reflections remain centered on two foci of interest: the politics by which we organize our common and public world, and the media, which increasingly filter our information and how we actually experience that world.

The Burden of Bad Ideas: How Modern Intellectuals Misshape Our Society

One of our best urban journalists considers the upside-down world of public policy and the entrenchment of foolish ideas in closely reported stories from the streets of New York to the seats of intellectual power.
