The Edge of Politics: Stories from the Civil Rights Movement, the War on Poverty and the Challenges of School Reform

From the inner offices of the White House, Robert Kennedy's Justice Department and Sargent Shriver's OEO to the Martin Luther King, Jr. March on Washington, the Clinton Transition and the Obama election, Stan was always a part of the action. It's a fascinating ride around the world, to China and an Ashram in India, a jail cell in Mexico, business in the Wild West of a new Russia and Georgia, and family life in Boston, Paris, New Jersey, Washington and Maryland. Everyone who is lucky to read it will come away with a better understanding of America and a great appreciation for Stan s life and commitment. Mike Barnes, Former Member of Congress
