In a natural follow-up to her national bestsellerFront Row at the White House,the dean of the White House press corps presents a vivid and personal presidential chronicle. Currently a columnist for Hearst and a former White House bureau chief for UPI, Helen Thomas has covered an unprecedented nine presidential administrations, endearing herself with her trademark "Thank you, Mr. President," at the conclusion of White House press conferences.

Interesting, as expected. Nice insights into the various presidents she worked with. ( )

Another book by Helen Thomas?? Hasn't she retired twice already. I would put this book on par with the other White House resignation books (Ari Fleischer, Peggy Noonan, and more recently Scott McClellan). Contains some interesting facts, but nothing to write home about. ( )

Much to my chagrin, most of the "memories" within the book are NOT those of Helen Thomas. She compiled various anecdotes from various members of the White House staff and the press corps and threw them together with no overall sense of cohesion (save the chapter division by president).

I have a beautifully autographed copy of the book and cherish it because I know Helen Thomas has been capable of a lot more "wit and wisdom" in her many years as a journalist than what this book reflects. If you are looking for an endearing memoir of Helen`s time in the White House, this isn`t it. One does not get a feel for how Mrs. Thomas` job has affected her (aside from her usual cantankerous quips which are readily available from other sources), and the "writing" can`t be evaluated as it is simply a bunch of secondary source material strung together by lengthy quotations. In a word, disappointing. ( )

interesting stories from Helen Thomas whom we've seen sitting in the front row of white house press conferences forever. ( )

This book is dedicated to all the presidents I've covered, who maintained their sense of humor in the best of times and the worst of times.
And always, to my beloved family.
