Now, Let Me Tell You What I Really Think
Chris Matthews (Kennedy and Nixon) was a speechwriter for President Carter before he became the interrupting and opinionated host of Hardball with Chris Matthews. In Now, Let Me Tell You What I Really Think, his third book, the author does just that. It's "what you'd get if you were sitting across the table from me," Matthews writes meaning, of course, a lot of stories about politics and politicians, a few meandering personal reflections and an energetic, forceful push toward getting everything all out. For those who would skim, the author provides section summaries under the heading "Here's What I Really Think." But when revelations can be as banal as "in order to win the game, you first need a seat at the table," one suspects Matthews hasn't written down all his secrets yet.Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
