"TODAY CITIZENS ARE CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT THEY CAN EXPECT FROM GOVERNMENT AND WHAT IT CAN EXPECT FROM THEM"
BRADLEY, Bill. Time Present, Time Past. A Memoir. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1996. Octavo, original half red cloth, original dust jacket. $300.
First edition, signed by Bill Bradley on the title page.
"In a memoir at once deeply felt, lively, and astute, Bill Bradley talks about his life, his country, his role in government, and his hopes for the American future. He speaks with affection about his small-town, Missouri upbringing and the values shaped by it. He traces his road from childhood to Princeton to Oxford to ten years of professional basketball to public service in the U.S. Senate. And he brings vividly alive the world of a senator—the rocky road to legislation, the invasiveness of the media, the power of money."
