Madam Senator

Madam Senator Review

Danika Cahill, is running for U.S. Senator from Washington State in the year 2020. Like Harry Truman, Danika speaks plainly and with none of the usual politician's double speak the public is used to hearing. She wants to tax the rich, reduce the military, and give medical care to everyone. The very ideas that may very will cause her trouble once in Washington D.C.
Danika knows it and is prepared to fight for what she believes in.
Sam McGibbon has been her body guard, on loan from the Washington State Patrol, during her campaign. After saving her life, Danika asks Sam to join her in D.C. to watch her back while she tends to her senator's duties and keep track of the political issues that define her term as senator. Together they head to Washington D.C. to change the landscape of the country's politics.
Conrad Jansen, senior Republican senator and main opposition to Senator Cahill's political agenda, has other ideas. Ideas that can cause Danika harm if she doesn't heed his warnings. He'll stop at nothing to maintain his control on Washington.
From made up stories of her divorce leaked to the press, to the attempts on her life, to break-ins, car crashes, and office bugging. It's a busy time for the senator and Sam in D.C. Not to mention an assassination attempt in her own state.
Nothing says welcome home to Seattle like an attempt on your life.

Here we follow Senator Kennedy and Splash through a busy day in D.C., from press conferences to meetings with school groups to committee discussions to a floor vote.

The Wrecking Crew of '33: The Washington Senators' Last Pennant

The Wrecking Crew of '33: The Washington Senators' Last Pennant Review

In the spring of 1933, with a new president in office and a banking crisis narrowly averted, there was optimism in Washington, D.C., even among the baseball fans. The hard-luck Senators, who topped 90 wins in each of the previous three seasons only to finish well in back of the pennant winner, seemed full of promise. They secured a "new deal" of their own with 26-year-old Joe Cronin, their peppery shortstop, who had emerged as one of the best players in the American League. Newly signed as the youngest manager in the majors, Cronin was determined to lead the Senators to the pennant, though Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and the world champion New York Yankees stood in the way.

The Senator's Aide Review

For Robin Mitchell, it was the job offer of a lifetime. Fresh out of university she was given a job as junior aide to a powerful United States Senator. For the first week, she thought she'd won the lottery. But she soon began to realize that the Senator wanted a more personal kind of aide than she had ever imagined. And he wasn't about to take no for an answer. All too soon his combination of pressure and persuasion had her bent across his desk, and then being used by him and given as a sexual present to his friends and colleagues. At first, she despised them and their crude power games, and herself for allowing them to use her to sate their lust. But Robin was learning how the game was played in Washington. For she had a lithe, lovely young body all the old men wanted, and would use it as a stepping stone to wealth and power

The American Senator

The American Senator Review

Despite a decreasing popularity throughout his career, Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) has become one of the most notable and respected English novelists of the Victorian Era. His penetrating novels on political, social and gender issues of his day have placed him among such nineteenth century literary icons as Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and George Eliot. Trollope penned 47 novels in his career, in addition to various short stories, travel books and biographies. "The American Senator," published in 1875, is one of Trollope's less-known works, but serves as a valuable depiction of rural English life in the nineteenth century. The story presents Arabella Trefoil, the unabashed, fortune-hungry fiancé of British legal secretary, John Morton. The pair return from a trip to Washington in the company of an American Senator, Elias Gotobed, who later translates his experiences abroad into a commentary on the absurd and irrational aspects of English society.

Raising Cain: The Life and Politics of Senator Harry P. Cain

Raising Cain: The Life and Politics of Senator Harry P. Cain Review

Decades ago, Harry Cain warned, "It is possible to become so safe that nobody can be free." Still the conflict rages on between individual freedom and national security. C. Mark Smith's Raising Cain profiles a complex and controversial public servant who remained true to one goal supporting the rights of the individual. Cain opposed the internment of Japanese American citizens during World War II, defended provocative figures as a U.S. Senator, worked for civil rights in Florida, and in the controversy that destroyed his public career, defied his president and his party to protect the freedom of thousands of Americans threatened during the McCarthy era.

Flying Blind

Flying Blind Review

Radio talk show host Michael Smerconish asks the question: In a post-9/11 world marked by constant threat of terrorism, why do the Department of Transportation and the Transportation Security Administration continue to jeopardize airline security by enforcing outdated screening regulations that cater to political correctness? The policy in question-disallowing airline security screeners from using profiling to target young Arab males for secondary screening-goes against the basic police investigative strategy of using pertinent information to pinpoint suspects and prevent further terrorist attacks. The issue first came to light during the 9/11 Commission hearings, and Smerconish's investigation gets to the heart of it. Drawing from U.S. Government documents, testimony from the 9/11 hearings and the June 24, 2004 special Senate hearing, on-the-record conversations with major airline officials and government representatives from the TSA and the Pentagon, personal experience, and various news stories and first-person accounts, Smerconish weaves together a stunning portrait of our flawed and failing airline security structure, and offers a strong solution.Includes audio CD with testimony from the 9/11 Commission hearings, testimony from a special U.S. Senate hearing about airline security, and excerpts from Smerconish's radio program including conversations with 9/11 Commissioner John Lehman, U.S. Senators Arlen Specter and John McCain, Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Southwest Airlines CEO Herb Kelleher, and more.

An Uncommon Man: The Life and Times of Senator Claiborne Pell

An Uncommon Man: The Life and Times of Senator Claiborne Pell Review

Claiborne Pell (1918-2009) was Rhode Island's longest serving U.S. senator, with six consecutive terms from 1961 to 1997. A liberal Democrat, Pell is best known as the sponsor of the Pell Grants. He was also the force behind the creation of the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, and a visionary in high-speed rail transportation and other areas. An early environmentalist and opponent of the Vietnam War, Pell left his mark on several treaties and peace initiatives.

Born into the wealthy family that settled the Bronx, New York, Pell married Nuala O'Donnell, an heiress to the A&P fortune. He lived on the waterfront in exclusive Newport, Rhode Island, yet was a favorite of blue-collar voters. Frugal and quirky, he believed in ESP and UFOs, and was often seen jogging in a sports coat and shorts. Both his hard work and his personality left an indelible mark on this small but influential state--and on America. This lively biography was written with the cooperation of the senator's family, and with exclusive access to family records and the extensive archives at the University of Rhode Island.
