  • To Newt or To Not

    How an Undisciplined New Speaker and Rigid Proposals Emboldened Democratic Hopes of Retaking the U.S. House in 1996

    de Scott Crass ...
    In 1994, Democrats were reeling from losing control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Returning members entered the new, 104th Congress powerless but the persona of the architect of that Republican takeover offered hope that their time in the wilderness would be brief. Speaker Newt Gingrich was a visionary but often accompanied that quality with brazen legislative ... Leer más

  • More Statesmen and Mischief Makers

    Members of Congress and Their Contributions to History from Kennedy Through Reagan

    de Scott Crass ...
    Accomplishments, associations and anecdotes - that is what this book encompasses. Previous volumes of Statesmen and Mischief Makers have portrayed members of Congress from the eras of John F. Kennedy through Ronald Reagan whose stories were the subject of fantastic tidbits. This volume is no exception but the emphasis is on the unknown men - and a few women – who were either at the center of now ... Leer más

  • Statesmen and Mischief Makers: Volume Iii

    Officeholders and Their Contributions to History from Kennedy to Reagan

    de Scott Crass ...
    My first two volumes of Statesmen and Mischief Makers portrayed the stories of officeholders who had tremendous impact on politics at the national level, either by way of Presidential proximity, legislative accomplishments or simply through living a life of idiosyncrasies that made a great anecdote - or two. Governors and big-city Mayors are no different. There were smart leaders, courageous ... Leer más

    Officeholders Who Were Footnotes in the Developments of History from Kennedy to Reagan

    de Scott Crass ...
    History has produced many individuals who have impacted the times. Some are well known, others barely recognized. My book follows two paths. One examines officeholders who served between 1960 and 1988, famous or obscure, whose actions gave way to an even more famous person's career. Others are Governors credited with shaping the modern developments of their home states.A number of my subjects are ... Leer más

    How Not Pursuing Fame Did Not Inhibit U.S. House Members from Effectiveness and Likability

    de Scott Crass ...
    Imagine members of Congress who don’t crave media attention. Imagine people who are so beloved within the institution that negative sentiment is non-existent. Finally, imagine folks for whom reaching across the aisle to craft comprehensive legislation is second nature. In Beloved Workhorses, one doesn’t have to imagine. A number of former members of the U.S. House of Representatives encompassed ... Leer más

  • Last of Its Kind - First of This Kind:

    Early 1990s Senate Campaigns - Transformed from Ordinary to Calls for More Women & Change

    de Scott Crass ...
    It was a tale of two cycles. The 1990 Senate election landscape rewarded popular incumbents and was largely devoid of national themes. There were colorful, headline grabbing moments and a near-shocker or two yet all but one Senator seeking another term was granted it. The 1992 landscape had no such clarity. A downward economy sparked the call for new ideas and backlash from the Clarence Thomas ... Leer más

    How Retirements, Redistricting and Scandal Yielded a Near-Postwar Record of House Members Exiting in 1992

    de Scott Crass ...
    The word “change” stormed onto the political lexicon in 1992 when Democratic Presidential nominee Bill Clinton aimed to deny George H.W. Bush a second term. Often overlooked, however, is that “change” also caused a ruckus in Congress. Redistricting, a check overdraft scandal that consumed the chamber and overall frustration with the system produced a wild and woolly year that sent 110 House ... Leer más

  • Polynomials, Dynamics, and Choice

    The Price We Pay for Symmetry

    de Scott Crass ...
    Working out solutions to polynomial equations is a mathematical problem that dates from antiquity. Galois developed a theory in which the obstacle to solving a polynomial equation is an associated collection of symmetries. Obtaining a root requires "breaking" that symmetry. When the degree of an equation is at least five, Galois Theory established that there is no formula for the solutions like ... Leer más

  • Statesmen and Mischief Makers:

    Officeholders and Their Contributions to History from Kennedy to Reagan

    de Scott Crass ...
    Historically, when sweeping policy changes or legislation of indelible consequence are signed into law, Presidents receive the credit. There is a good reason for that. Without the Chief Executive putting his pen to paper, these advancements would have nary a chance of becoming reality. In most cases, though, a President’s signature is simply the culmination of a long fight to make an idea or ... Leer más
