Editorial Reviews

Review

Special interests have taken over the electoral process, according to journalist Brooks Jackson. Through the use of so-called Political Action Committees, every group from ambulance owners to dry cleaners to the savings and loan industry contributes enormous sums to the election coffers of virtually every member of the U.S. Congress, receiving special - if deniable - consideration in return. The result is a system of "honest graft" in which congressmen are beholden to special interests and ordinary citizens are deprived of the power of their votes. Though this is not an original thesis, Jackson does much more than restate the obvious in this intriguing expos6 of the corrupting influence of money on the American political process. He aptly concentrates on three key congressmen in the savings and loan abomination - Jim Wright, Fernand St. Germain, and, especially, Tony Coelho - politicians eventually devoured by the very system they used so skillfully. -- From Independent Publisher
