On the Line: The New Road to the White House

Rating:
Summary: Not much of a book
Review: Larry recounts the 1992 U.S. presidential campaign, with all the inside information and insight that could be garnered just by reading the paper or watching TV during the relevant period. In other words, Larry offers no inside scoop at all. The book just rehashes the campaign in more or less chronological order, and I could've written it. Some book, huh? Along the way, Larry does manage to bungle a fact or 2 (E.g., claiming a wacky question during Gennifer Flowers' press conference was asked by a reporter, rather than the Howard Stern show flunkie who really asked it. I don't think Larry can bring himself to say the words "Howard Stern", so perhaps that was the problem.). If interested in the 1992 campaign/election, try ALL's FAIR by Mary Matalin and James Carville or STRANGE BEDFELLOWS by Tom Rosensteil instead.
