Query: "I don't think government is good, just necessary."

I agree with this quote from George. I dislike most politics but have been a Clinton supporter. This book is a great view of how it felt (would feel for anyone) intelligent but politically inexperienced to be thrown into that heady atmosphere. It wasn't an old guy spinning his view of(and his place in) history. It was a young guy showing what he learned along the way about the process. I think it was balanced for the most part and the critics of this book (like George Wills in the NYT) have some other ax to grind. As a former corporate VP I strongly identified with the dilemma of the "right thing" versus the "political thing" in making decisions. Politics are rampant in any hierarchical organization and this is a good primer.
