============================================================== The BIRCH BARK BBS / 414-242-5070 ============================================================== BOY CLINTON The Political Biography ----------------------- By R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. [Jacket Review] Regnery Publishing, Inc. - 1996 No one has done more to unearth the truth about Bill Clinton's character and career than R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., and his magazine, The American Spectator. Now, Tyrrell draws all the known facts about Clinton - plus many never before revealed - into the most comprehensive and illuminating biography ever written about a sitting U.S. president. Tyrrell traces the formative influence on the young, fatherless Clinton of the hustlers and rogues who populated his boyhood hometown of Hot Springs (not Hope), Arkansas. Tyrrell shows how the influence-peddlers who dominated Arkansas politics served as Clinton's real political mentors and role models. And he explains how these factors combined with Clinton's '60s-era radicalism to create a new, more dangerous type of career politician. Tyrrell reports dozens of fresh revelations about both Bill and Hillary Clinton, and sheds important new light on their activities in Arkansas and Washington. He presents strong evidence, for instance, that Clinton knowingly benefited from the profits of a cocaine-smuggling ring operating out of an Arkansas airport. He also delves into the "peculiar pattern" of deaths of people connected to the Clintons during their rise to power - a serious matter that has been too quickly dismissed with accusations of conspiracy-mongering. Tyrrell also points out many previously unobserved connections in the mounting pile of evidence against the Clintons, and nails down countless contradictions and inconsistencies in their public statements about it. And he draws together the over- whelming evidence - enough to convict any lessor citizen - that the Clintons are quilty of tax fraud, obstruction of justice, and lying to government agencies. Tyrrell's portrait of Clinton is far from flattering, but, sadly, it is true to life. Concerned citizens who want to know what kind of man their president really is - and what made him that way - will find it a revelation. E. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., is founder and Editor-in-Chief of The American Spectator. His previous books include The Liberal Crack-Up, The Conservative Crack-Up, Public Nuisances, and The Future That Doesn't Work: Social Democracy's Failure in Britain. A nationally syndicated columnist, his articles have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, National Review, Harper's, Commentary, New York, The (London) Spectator, Le Figaro (Paris), and elsewhere. --------------------------------------------------------- "Whew! Bob says things about Bill Clinton that even Hillary wouldn't say." - P.J. O'Rourke "Here is the complete story of everything you had ever heard about Bill Clinton. Plus a good deal that you hadn't heard. It's served up with Tyrrell's trademark biting wit and explained in the context of our cultural crackup. The added feature is a chilling prologue that plows new ground and adds new questions in the saga of 'Boy Clinton'" - Robert Novak, syndicated columnist "Already the H.L. Mencken of the end of the century, Bob Tyrrell now calls on Lincoln Steffens." - Tom Wolfe [end]
