THE PARTISAN DIVIDE: Congress in Crisis
Автор: Tom Davis
Год издания: 0000
During their combined 40 years in Congress, Martin Frost and Tom Davis were the field generals for their respective parties, each serving two terms as chair of the Democratic and Republican House Campaign Committees, respectively. Now they have joined forces—along with columnist Richard Cohen—in an effort to save Congress from itself.
According to the authors, Congress is incapable of reforming itself without a good kick in the seat from the American public. Frost and Davis, with great insight and skill along with a wealth of anecdotes and photos, dissect the causes of legislative gridlock and offer a common-sense, bipartisan plan for making our Congress function again.
The Preface, by Pulitzer Prize finalist David Eisenhower, sets the stage for this powerful behind-the-scenes narrative that insightfully uncovers the past road to the present political gridlock—and then offers thought-provoking insights and possibilities for the way out.
A wide array of Republicans, Democrats, former presidents, and congressional colleagues, as well as many of today’s most highly respected news correspondents and analysts, have come together in broad, bipartisan, consensus support for this book and its message.
The Partisan Divide: Congress in Crisis is a fascinating “must-read” for the historically and politically curious—as well as for every citizen of the United States!

Peeter Simm. Eesti filmi partisan
Автор: Evelin Kivimaa
Год издания:
Elulooraamat „Peeter Simm. Eesti filmi partisan” tutvustab rezissoori, kelle jaoks ei ole miski voimatu. „Eesti filmitegemine on nagu metsavendlus. Mida halvem ja kulmem on ilm, seda parem. Kui keegi teine enam ei nae ega kuule, siis votab voidu partisan, kel on relvaks kaes konservikarbi kaas,” teab Simm. Kui vaja, filmib Simm sooja suveohtut, hoolimata lumesajust. Kui vaja, suvendab joesangi. 35 votteplatsi-aasta jooksul on ta teinud 9 mangufilmi, 7 luhifilmi ja 16 dokfilmi. Tema loodud on nii Eesti kalleim mangufilm „Georg” kui ka ilma rahata tehtud „Vereringe”. Raamatu autor Evelin Kivimaa on lisaks Simmile endale kusitlenud ka 25 tema lahikondlast. Selgub, et kogu Simmi elu ongi uks kino. Isegi tema eraelu on nagu Brasiilia seriaal – aga karastatud mehena saab Simm ka sellega hakkama!
