The Joseph Smith here in the book is as given to human failings as the rest of us. Likewise the early trials of the Saints are they were hounded from one refuge to another before undertaking their arduous journey to Utah to found Salt Lake City under the leadership of Brigham Young. As a convert I swallowed wholesale the almost godlike descriptions of Joseph Smith, the sects founder. To me, they certainly have the ring of truth and they cast a clear light on elements I took almost as gospel when I was involved with the Mormons myself.

Shonda knew she had to embrace the challenge: for one year, she would say YES to everything that scared her. And then, over Thanksgiving dinner, her sister muttered something that was both a wake up and a call to arms: You never say yes to anything. So who would suspect that Shonda Rhimes is an introvert? That she hired a publicist so she could avoid public appearances? That she suffered panic attacks before media interviews? With three children at home and three hit television shows, it was easy for Shonda to say she was simply too busy. Her iconic characters live boldly and speak their minds. She's the creator and producer of some of the most groundbreaking and audacious shows on television today. ![]() "As fun to read as Rhimes's TV series are to watch" ( Los Angeles Times). ![]() ![]() The instant New York Times bestseller from the creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away with Murder shares how saying YES changed her life. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "In Vietnam, he had a weapon - B-52 bombers," Weiner says. ![]() Nixon was waging fights both at home and abroad. That fear "turned into anger and that anger turned into self-destruction and every hour of these new tapes and these released transcripts adds to the record of a man committing political suicide day-by-day," he says. Nixon was consumed by fear, Weiner tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross. After having pored over these documents, Tim Weiner provides answers to these and other questions in his book One Man Against the World: The Tragedy of Richard Nixon. Hundreds of hours of Nixon's tapes were made public in 20. Tens of thousands of files from the Nixon White House, National Security Council, CIA, FBI, State Department and Pentagon were declassified between 20.

Why did he lie about his war plans to his secretary of defense and secretary of state? What were the Watergate burglars searching for, and why did Nixon tape conversations that included incriminating evidence?
