"You can learn from my mistakes," Williams advises readers in simple, effective prose. "It's the best set of books...
...when Bennett talks of the 1996 campaign, he betrays a frustration that borders on regret. Friends and strangers urged him to run, and last year he seriously considered it. But he says he couldn't imagine spending most of his time "having cocktails with people who want to explain the obvious, or tell me how what's good for them is good for the country, and I have to smile and nod because now I'm just another politician who needs their money...
