Summary: Conable as in "Able"
Comment: The Republic won't see the likes of Barber Conable again soon. Fleming brings to life a decent, principled man who in many ways sets the standard for what a Representative should be. Today's congress would do well to emulate Mr. Conable. Fleming uses the crtical eye of a political scientist combined with extensive first person interviews of Conable and staff, and has written a 'must read' not only for poltical junkies, but for anyone interested in our government. Fleming shows how Conable, a small town lawyer becomes a powerful force in the House of Representatives through his decency and intellect, even though he served his entire career in the minority. This is a must read for anyone who thinks we ought to be able to do better.

Summary: Conable, as in Able
Comment: We won't see the likes of Barber Conable again soon, that's for sure. In a time when the nation's governance is characterized as nothing more that scoring point and sound bites, Fleming presents Conable as the thoughtful kind of man we need in Congress. Fleming brings a political scientist's critical eye to this work, without making it into a heavy textbook. Exntensive use of Fleming's first person intevirws with Conable and his staff, as well as use of Conable's own writings, bring alive a Congress when principled men of conscience strove to do their best.
