Deep Cover: An FBI Agent Infiltrates the Radical Underground by Cril Payne

An ex-FBI undercover agent found himself leading a perilous existence. In order to infiltrate the counter culture and track down the fugitive terrorists of the Weatherman, he became Bill Lane, a California hippy high on hash, a drug dealer, and the lover of a woman who was not only on close terms with the "heavyweight politicos" but who seemed to have connections in Canada that would lead directly to the activists on the FBI's "Most Wanted List."

Getting By on $100,000 a Year (and Other Sad Tales) by Andrew Tobias

He knows a good story when he sees it. The hot story these days is money, and no one writes about it more simply and with as much good humor as he does. The decade just past; the '70s; was one of sad tales, soaring prices, and chickens coming home to roost. But as this book so clearly demonstrates, sad need not mean somber. Tobias is lucid, witty, and wise. His "sad tales" put the recent past and present into an illuminating and amusing new perspective.

Presidential Courage by Wilbur Cross and John B. Moses, M.D.

They reveal that many of our chief executives have been plagued be serious illness. Yet America's chief executives have presided in their demanding duties despite the inroads of physical and mental illness that have completely immobilized lesser individuals. The one enduring quality they shared in common was courage. This book shows how they overcame enormous handicaps, endured constant pain, fought off personal neuroses, and bounced back from critical illness to discharge their heavy official duties.
