Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

352 pages. William E Simon-quintessential American figure of the American century: Wall Street wunderkind, treasury secretary under Presidents Nixon and Ford, successfu l entrepreneur, US Olympic Committee president, best-selling author, pioneering philanthropist, and devout Catholic. Simon's insightful and often humorous autob iography, A Time for Reflection, includes a diverse cast of characters whose liv es intersected with Simon's: from the president and his advisers at the White Ho use; to the highest realms of the Catholic Church (in particular, Cardinal Egan) , to celebrities, like actress Meryl Streep; and sports figures, like basketball coach Bobby Knight. In A Time for Reflection, Simon offers us some behind-the-s cenes glimpses of history being made, including: President Nixon as Simon knew h im, both in office and after; How Simon confronted Ronald Reagan during the Repu blican convention in 1980 to help nix the idea of a co-presidency with Gerald Fo rd; The tumult of the 1980 Moscow Olympic games, boycotted by the United States, and the 1984 Los Angeles games, boycotted by the Soviet Union; How Simon battle d the Arab 'oil crisis' as 'energy czar' for President Nixon; Simon's fight in t he Ford administration against Vice President Nelson Rockefeller on how to help a bankrupt New York City; Making the case for freedom with his best-selling book s A Time for Truth and A Time for Action. Simon's fascinating life also encompas sed sailing adventures -- including conquering the Northwest Passage from Alaska to Greenland and being named king by a group of Fiji islanders -- as well as ad ventures of the soul: giving away millions to charity; becoming a eucharistic mi nister; and helping to care for the sick, the poor, and the dying. William E Sim.
