商品簡介
The Front Runner, originally titled All the Truth is Out, is now a major motion
picture directed by Jason Reitman and starring Hugh Jackman and Vera
Farmiga.
In May 1987, Colorado Senator Gary Hart--a dashing, reform-minded
Democrat--seemed a lock for the party's presidential nomination and led George
H. W. Bush by double digits in the polls. Then, in one tumultuous week, rumors of
marital infidelity and a newspaper's stakeout of Hart's home resulted in a media
frenzy the likes of which had never been seen before. Through the magnificently
reported story of the Senator's fall from grace, Matt Bai, former chief political
correspondent for The New York Times Magazine, shows the Hart affair to be far
more than one man's tragedy: rather, it marked a crucial turning point in the ethos
of political media--and, by extension, of politics itself. At a moment when the
definitions of "breaking news" and "newsworthiness" were being rewritten by new
technologies and a changing culture, Hart fell first victim to the new norms of life
in the public eye. The Front Runner is a tour de force on the American way of
politics at the highest level, one that changes our understanding of how we elect
our presidents and how the bedrock of American values has shifted under our feet.
