What Washington pros are saying about--

      Stories I Never Told the Speaker

By Marshall L. Lynam

            DAVID  BRODER, The Washington Post--“A delightful and insightful look behind the scenes on Capitol Hill.”

            BOB  SCHIEFFER, CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent--“Marshall Lynam knows more about Capitol Hill than anyone I know, and this book shows it.  But being from Fort Worth, I have to confess:  the yarns he spins about the hoodlums, gamblers and other assorted characters he encountered as a young Fort Worth newspaperman were my favorites.  There is some very funny stuff here.” 

            MARK  RUSSELL, Political Satirist--“From those Bonnie and Clyde Texas towns where the pols had names like Wingate Lucas and Barefoot Sanders to the halls of the mighty named Reagan and Thatcher--Marshall Lynam, disciple to Jim Wright, brings back a time when working on Capitol Hill was an adventure instead of a resume entry.”

            NORMAN  ORNSTEIN, Congressional Analyst, American Enterprise Institute--

“To Capitol Hill veterans, congresssional staffer Marshall Lynam was known as

the professionals’ professional--smart, savvy, honest, thorough, open, and responsive. 

It turns out he had other qualities that were not so apparent, including the ability

to write a good story, with uproarious humor--often self-deprecating--and candid insight.  Stories I Never Told the Speaker is that rare combination in a book, entertaining and enlightening.  It reminds us that the Congress could sure use a few  more Marshall Lynams now.”

            TREVOR  ARMBRISTER, Senior Staff Editor, The Reader’s Digest--

“Stories I Never Told the Speaker is a rollicking good read.  Lynam knows the players because he is one himself.  His book is instructive in detailing the ways Washington really works--and often hilarious.”
