Please add summary below. Thank you.


This book is based on the "Senator William Sharon Scandal".

Senator Sharon resided in San Francisco until his death there on November 13, 1885.
His final years saw a legal battle that was the juiciest scandal of its time. Senator Sharon was alleged to have remarried a woman named Sarah Althea Hill, and he sued to have this alleged marriage cancelled. Judgment (in his favor) was rendered after his death, but the consequent legal proceedings, which included a Bowie knife fight in the courtroom of the Circuit Court for the Northern District of California, the physical beating of Justice Stephen Johnson Field of the US Supreme Court (by David S. Terry, a former Chief Judge of the California Supreme Court) and the fatal shooting of Terry by a US Marshal, both in the breakfast room of a California railroad hotel, which culminated in a landmark US Supreme Court decision in the case "In re Neagle (Cunningham v. Neagle)", on the supremacy of federal law over state law.

Please add missing summary below.

An autobiography on the life of an Indiana Cardiologist who is one of the most prominent Cardiologists in the country. The book covers his own amazing medical history which includes three heart valve replacements, a liver transplant and two episodes of passing out (syncope) which usually results in sudden cardiac death. Then there is the miraculous survival off the Florida Keys when his boat sinks. Even more extraordinary is his professional career. He has helped create one of the largest Cardiology practices in the country. His book provides an excellent overview on the golden age of Cardiology and the current model of an entrepreneurial approach to good patient care.

Codex | 3400 comments #117: WorldCat lists this book for the ISBN you specified, with page count 438 (as you claimed)—but then WorldCat specifies a different ISBN (9780812989052) in the same entry, which does not make sense. Not sure what to do with this. . . .

When multiple editions of a work have the same information, WorldCat sometimes consolidates them into a single record.

Wanda, do you have a copy of the edition in question, and can you personally verify that page count?

The only formats for which book-in-hand does not trump publisher/Amazon/etc. data are ebooks. User settings, precise model of ereader, and other variables can mean that the same book on your ereader and mine have different page counts. Therefore, for ebooks (including Kindle editions), the page number should come from the publisher.

For Kindle editions, that means Amazon. Amazon has 339 listed for that ASIN, and that's what is on Goodreads as well.

Okay, thanks for clearing up! The Kindle version on Goodreads has still no page number, though.

Please replace current summary (which tells you nothing about the book) with the summary below from the back cover of book.
Thank you.

In this sweeping novel inspired by the Iran-Contra affair, master storyteller James A. Michener conjures the triumphs and tragedies of one family and their dynamic role in the history of the United States and its founding document. Over a tense weekend of reflection, Major Norman Starr of the National Security Council prepares to appear before a congressional committee to publicly account for his covert actions. Hoping to learn something from his proud, troubled heritage, Starr looks for guidance in the lives of his ancestors: all-Americans who weren't always right. From a framer of the Constitution to a slave owner, from a Supreme Court justice to a courageous suffragist, each recalls an important legacy that Starr must somehow reconcile with his own perilous dilemma.
