"Art Buchwald strikes again! This is the twenty-seventh in a series of books recording the life and times of those Washingtonians who make their living by providing the country with good government at a reasonable cost. Art Buchwald has lived inside the Beltway since 1962 and has been a confidant of every president during that time. He has advised them on what moves they should make, from the Bay of Pigs, to Watergate, to the Iran-contra success. What makes him different from the other White House advisers is that Buchwald was always willing to tell all. This anthology records the last months of Ronald Reagan and the first months of George Bush. Buchwald was able to communicate with Reagan while he slept, and what is even more unique, he developed an uncanny ability to read George Bush's lips. This is not just a book of politics. It deals with subjects as diverse as the telephone company, airline agents, faraway places, and functional illiteracy at the most prestigious universities in the land. As with Mr. Buchwald's other publications, the readers of Whose Rose Garden Is It Anyway? will have a tendency to laugh. We would appreciate it if such an urge could be suppressed, as it might give people the impression that this is a funny book, which could be very distressing to all those mentioned in it." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
