Description:

Proving that the rich are indeed different from you and me, Cary Reich informs us that former New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller's father, John D. Rockefeller Jr., made his children swat flies to earn their allowances, and take long single-file marches with him each Sunday. This account of Rockefeller's seemingly charmed life takes us from his boyhood on the family's estate at Tarrytown, New York to his landslide victory over Averell Harriman in the 1958 governor's race in New York. At that point Rockefeller seemed poised for the presidency--a goal that eluded him for the rest of his life.
