The American Presidents: Biographies of the Chief Executives from Washington Through Clinton
But David C. Whitney's writing was enough to win me over. The undertones of american patriotism to admitting the scandals and the faults and flaws with some presidencies were written flawlessly. The written execution of the short biographies were simple, informative and educative. I could sense pride and impartiality in the writing with every president portrayed without prejudice regardless of their actions. It was like being taught by an old fashioned, yet respectable and socially compatible teacher that all students come to love.
I read this to gain some background knowledge for my A2 Government & Politics class and I am absolutely content with what I got. This was exactly what I needed to introduce myself to American Politics - understanding the rich history that lay with all the presidents thus far written concisely without missing any details in a manner that allowed me to absorb the information without difficulty.

Although Philip Johnson’s biographer Franz Schulze referred to him as a “wife” and he identified himself as the homemaker, David Grainger Whitney was an accomplished curator and editor, an avid art collector and gardener, a loyal friend to many artists, an art adviser to New York’s powerful elite, and an advocate of contemporary art. In contrast to his outspoken partner of forty-five years, Philip Johnson, Whitney was an éminence grise, an art world insider who preferred to maintain his y’s circle of friends included Modern masters such as Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, Frank Gehry, Frank Stella, Ken Price, among others. Whitney described the development of these relationships simply as “I became close to these people who are now all gods. But they weren’t then.”However, from a historical perspective, this attests to his keen eye for emerging talent, as well as his deep understanding of and appreciation for the creative mind and artistic expression.

Gruff, Topical and reliably entertaining David Whitney&#;
The Independent (reviewing a show at Nottingham Glee Club) AugBut whoever the ‘real’ David Whitney is, one thing is certain: that he’s got a well-defined sense of comedy which – when delivered with the impassioned hard sell he gives to all his routine – guarantees laughs. Chortle
I call Whitney ‘The Wit’. You can’t stop him; you can only hope to contain him.
