THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

Power is the name of the game. But until now, no one outside "the beltway" knew just who was wielding how much--and for what ends. Pulitzer Prize-winning, ex-Washington bureau chief of THE NEW YORK TIMES, Hedrick Smith, tells the whole story. From PACs to influence-peddling from the Pentagon to the WASHINGTON POST, THE POWER GAME reveals Congressional staffers more powerful than their bosses, media advisors more powerful than the media, and money that not only talks but threatens. It's all there, and it's all in here.]]> 193554 3.79 151 18 1988 4 0 false Fri Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 1993 Tue Jan 22 23:09:35 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 23:13:28 -0800 2008 more...]]>
