Political Block
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beginning this weekend, Book TV will feature a 
political bloc of book programming every Sunday 
afternoon from 1 PM - 6 PM ET.  This bloc willl feature 
books about the candidates, political issues and 
trends.



Bruce Schulman and Julian Zelizer, 
Rightward Bound: Making America Conservative in 
the 1970s

History professors Bruce Schulman and Julian 
Zelizer present a collection of essays that recount 
how the American conservative movement rose in the 
1970's.  According to the editors the decade has often 
been cast as a footnote between the politically active 
1960's and 1980's but Mr. Schulman and Mr. Zelizer 
contend that fissures in the liberal movement, 
migration of a segment of the population to the 
Sunbelt, and the activity of conservative grass roots 
organizations laid the groundwork for conservative 
ascendancy.  

(Sunday 1 PM ET)

Gil Troy, Leading from the Center: Why 
Moderates Make the Best Presidents

Gil Troy writes that the best American presidents have 
all been moderates, citing the examples of George 
Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, 
and Ronald Reagan.  He says most presidential 
candidates pretend to be moderates, but show 
themselves as partisans once they are in office.  Mr. 
Troy urges politicans of all stripes to be "muscular," 
unapologetic moderates.
