: a life

--Blake Bailey's biography reveals the troubled but strangely lovable man behind
the disguises, an artist who delighted in the everyday radiance of the world
while yearning, above all, "to be illustrious." Cheever's was a soul
in conflict : a proud Yankee who flaunted his lineage while deploring the
provincialism of his Massachusetts family; a high-school dropout who published
his first story at eighteen; a pioneer of suburban realist fiction who
continually pushed the boundaries of realism; a dire alcoholic who recovered to
write the great novel Falconer; a secret bisexual who struggled with his
longings and his fierce homophobia in a revolving door of self-loathing and
hedonism.--From publisher description.

Power
rules : how common sense can rescue American foreign policy
Gelb, Leslie H.
New York : Harper, c2009.
Leading foreign policy expert Gelb offers guidelines on how American power
actually works and should be wielded in today's tumultuous world. He argues that
Washington risks losing the essential lifeblood of its national security--its
power--unless American leaders relearn the lessons of how to use that power. The
United States remains far and away the most powerful country in a world where
power remains sharply pyramidal. But the U.S. is not the dominant power, and it
can't dictate to others. Gelb persuasively shows that America's future power
must be based on the principle of mutual indispensability: Washington is the
indispensable leader because it alone can galvanize coalitions to solve major
international problems (and all nations know this), while other key nations are
indispensable partners in getting the job done. The reality is this: succeed
together or fail apart.--From publisher description.
