Book excerpt: Potomac fever is the disease or malady that people in and out of government sometimes suffer when they live and work in Washington, D.C. There is a feeling that you are in the center of the world and everything revolves around you, or is not worth your concern. You also tend to get the feeling that morality and integrity are not as important as they are back home and that your tax money belongs to the government to be used as it pleases. However, most politicians and government workers in Washington or elsewhere are dedicated public servants who love their country and their families. In this story the President of the United States finds an old love he once more is enchanted by. As his fashion plate wife concerns herself with someone else, the question is how long can this couple get away with their back street affairs?

Book excerpt: An impassioned mediation on American identity and its ebb and flow through the Capital's great waterway As she walks the length of the Potomac River, clambering up its banks and sounding its depths, Charlotte Taylor Fryar examines the geography and ecology of Washington, D.C. with all manner of flora and fauna as her witnesses. The ecological traces of human inhabitancy provide her with imaginative access into America's past, for her true subject is the origin of our splintered nation and racially divided capital. From the gentrified neighborhood of Shaw to George Washington's slave labor camp at Mount Vernon, Potomac Fever maps the troubled histories of the United States by leading us along the less-trafficked trails and side streets of our capital city, steeped in the legacy of white supremacy and colonialism. In the end, Fryar offers hope for how "we might grow a society guided by the ethics and values of the places we live." A compelling synthesis of historical, environmental, and personal narrative, Potomac Fever exposes the roots of our national myths, awash in the waters of America's renowned river.

Book excerpt: A dozen years out of Harvard, investment banker Bill Middendorf’s salary hit $250,000 a year; another dozen years, with his own firm and a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, his income was well into seven figures. But he was restive. “I had learned how to make money,” he writes. “I wanted to learn how to make a difference.” Thus, he became actively involved in politics, first at the local level and then with the presidential campaign of Senator Barry Goldwater (1964) and as treasurer of the Republican National Committee (1964-1968). There followed a series of challenging public service appointments: ambassador to The Netherlands, under secretary and secretary of the Navy, ambassador to the Organization of American States and ambassador to the European Community. Middendorf is a story-teller, and has many tales to share --—from his World War II Navy service, to his first job wearing a string of pearls in a bank vault, on to a failed effort to bring a U.S.-style constitution to post-Soviet Russia. Tales of villains and heroes, tales of narrow legislative victories on vital programs, tales of behind-the-scenes efforts to forestall war in the Falklands and to counter growing Communist control of the island of Grenada.
