“Dale
Bumpers is one of the most eloquent speakers ever to grace
the United States Senate. He is also one of the wittiest.
Far more important, he is a good and wise man, full of timeless
lessons and unshakable devotion to our Constitution and
country.”
—President
William J. Clinton
“Former
Arkansas governor Bumpers served in the Senate for twenty-four
years and is currently with a Washington law firm. However,
this witty book indicates that he may have a new career as
a humorist on the printed page. . . . These charming tales
from a country lawyer turned national politician are thoroughly
enjoyable.”
—Publishers
Weekly
“This
saga of bootstrapping from an impoverished boyhood to the
Arkansas governor’s mansion and a distinguished senatorial
career could easily serve as a manual for the legislatively
inclined. But it is the author’s total candor, combined
with his facility for humor spun out of rural America’s
plain talk, that lifts this remembrance well above the ordinary.”
—Kirkus
Reviews
“How
agreeable to read a serious politician’s memoir and
find it as full of wit, bite, scorn, compassion, and insight
as Dale Bumpers himself.”
—Norman
Mailer
