Oliver Buck Revell; Dwight Williams A G-Man's Journal
Pocket 1999 0671568000 / 9780671568009 Paperback
0671568000 Amazon.com A true insider's peek into the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Washington halls of power, A G-Man's Journal establishes its pull-no-punches tone with a bang and a snap as Oliver "Buck" Revell recounts his personal interview with infamous FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover on the first day Revell was assigned to headquarters: "You know," he quotes Hoover, "the president (Kennedy) was the one who ordered the investigation of Martin Luther King." Revell, who served more than 30 years with the FBI, reached the second-highest position available in the bureau, that of assistant director. His differences of opinion with various FBI directors after Hoover make great reading, though his criticisms of current director Louis Freeh are surprising given the general applause Freeh has received from policymakers and pressmen. Among certain elements, Revell has a reputation as a member of Reagan's "shadow government," responsible for rogue policy decisions outside the scope of the president's constitutional powers. Many conspiracy buffs suggest he played a less-than-honorable role in both the Iran-Contra affair and the tragic bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988. While not directly addressing the notoriety surrounding him, Revell manages to make clear that he believed throughout his career that he was doing exactly what he should have as a representative of the FBI, performing his duties with honor. --Tjames Madison --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Library Journal Second in command at the FBI for 11 years, Revell talks about some of his biggest cases.

Annette Williams Jaffee Adult Education
Warner Books 1982 0446371920 / 9780446371926 Paperback
0446371920 The New York Times Book Review "Miss Jaffee has fluency, energy, comic verve, and a less pinpointable quality of sheer likeableness.--This text refers to the Paperback edition. The Los Angeles Times Book Review, August 19, 1981 "This is an engaging, engrossing, sometimes wallopingly funny novel. Women will see themselves or their best friends; if they don't know Becca, consciousness raised to the threshold of hysteria, then they'll recognize Ulli, carefully restrained to the point of perfection. Men will want to know both women for comparative if not carnal knowledge... The discovery of Jaffee is a delight." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
