The Sins of the Father: Joseph P. Kennedy and the Dynasty he Founded
By: Ronald Kessler
List Price: $32.00
Amazon Price: $8.84

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
Enjoyable and well read audio work.
Kessler details the life of Joseph P. Kennedy, the father of Robert, Teddy and Jack Kennedy and the founder of one of the largest political dynasties in America. JPK is not given a very favorable look in this book. He is listed as an adulterer, a swindler, a crook, power hungry and unscrupulous. And that was just on the first side of the first tape. Because I don't know how much of this book is truly factual, I can't give it a proper review. Frankly, I bought it out of a discount bin for a long trip I was taking. However, it's a fascinating look at one of the people that isn't closely examined in history. It is an abridgement of the source work; it runs three hours and is read perfectly by Frank Langella.

Product Description
Advance Praise for Joseph P. Kennedy

"Ted Schwarz gives us a darker, and truer, picture of the founding father (and only Kennedy to ever make any money) than the habitual family spinmeisters and hagiographers."
-Axel Madsen, author of Gloria and Joe: The Star-Crossed Love Affair of Gloria Swanson and Joe Kennedy

What price glory?

He is best known as the patriarch of America's most loved, hated, and talked-about family. Long before the Kennedy name became synonymous with wealth, political idealism, and agonizing tragedy, however, Joe Kennedy was on the move. This unflinching portrait of the man who sired three major twentieth-century political figures introduces copious new information about Joseph Kennedy's questionable financial practices, his Hollywood exploits, his tenure as ambassador to Great Britain, and his relationship with organized crime. Drawing on previously untapped sources, author Ted Schwarz provides a rare peek into Joseph Kennedy's secret activities and public accomplishments, including: Baseball scams that Kennedy concocted as an adolescent Kennedy's cynical manipulation of Franklin Roosevelt's son His business dealings with Al Capone Kennedy's very public affair with actress Gloria Swanson How he transformed Hollywood studios into product manufacturers His dismal performance as ambassador to Great Britain And much, much more

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s American Heroes: Robert Smalls, the Boat Thief
By: Robert F., Jr. Kennedy
List Price: $16.99
Amazon Price: $11.55

Book Description
On a moonlit night in the spring of 1862, six slaves stole one of the Confederacy's most crucial gunships from its wharf in the South Carolina port of Charleston, and delivered it to the Federal Navy. This audacious and intricately coordinated escape, masterminded by a 24-year-old sailor named Robert Smalls, astonished the world and exploded the Confederate claim that Southern slaves did not crave freedom or have the ability to take decisive action. Robert Smalls's heroic career had only begun. A brilliant sailor and strategist, he was quickly promoted to the rank of captain in the Federal Navy where he served courageously in many critical battles. Not only was Smalls a great soldier, he was also a powerful activist, whose appeal to Abraham Lincoln convinced the president to enlist 5,000 former slaves, shattering the color barrier that had kept black men out of the service. Smalls drew great crowds as an eloquent public speaker, and his outstanding character inspired the broad public support that encouraged Lincoln to ratify the Emancipation Proclamation. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. tells the story of another great American hero, a man who did not flinch in the face of extraordinary dangers--a man whose dedication to the cause of freedom made him one the most important participants in the American Civil War.

Video of Barack Obama's speech (MSNBC). Prepared text. That was pretty much the speech I've been saying he should give, and I believe he made some sales with it. I'm willing to bet that a lot of people saw that speech who hadn't heard him sound like that before. Some of them will be people who just watch network TV and so far all they've heard have been pretty abstract-sounding things that seemed to create more distance rather than reach out to them.

Last night in Invesco Field was as exhilarating as anything I've ever witnessed (outside of the birth of my daughter). Although I was and still am a vehement Hillary supporter, and although I still believe Hillary is the better choice, I will unhesitatingly cast my vote for Obama on November 4. As for the convention itself, I have only three words: WOW, WOW, WOW. I don't know what things looked like on television, but the atmosphere on the floor was electric.

Derek Chollet is a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security and coauthor of America Between the Wars: From 11/9 to 9/11. On an evening filled with more hoopla than the past few conventions combined, the speeches and imagery harkened back to the 1950s and early 1960s tradition of tough liberalism. For many years, foreign affairs has been an afterthought of Democratic conventions and Thursday night acceptance addresses.

McCain?s done a good job of deflecting attention from Obama?s speech by his birthday VP pick. It?s hard to focus on writing about Obama while giggling incredulously.

But though I must pause again to scrub out my brain, I refuse to be deflected. I was a Hillary supporter and very resistant all along to Obama?s rhe
