What It Takes: The Way to the White House"Quite possibly the finest book on presidential politics ever written, combining meticulous reporting and compelling, at times soaringly lyrical, prose." Cleveland Plain Dealer An American Iliad in the guise of contemporary political reportage, What It Takes penetrates the mystery at the heart of all presidential campaigns: How do presumably ordinary people acquire that mixture of ambition, stamina, and pure shamelessness that makes a true candidate?
"Quite possibly the finest book on presidential politics ever written, combining meticulous reporting and compelling, at times soaringly lyrical, prose." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer An American Iliad in the guise of contemporary political reportage, What It Takes penetrates the mystery at the heart of all presidential campaigns: How do presumably ordinary people acquire that mixture of ambition, stamina, and pure shamelessness that makes a true candidate? As he recounts the frenzied course of the 1988 presidential race -- and scours the psyches of contenders from George Bush and Robert Dole to Michael Dukakis and Gary Hart -- Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Richard Ben Cramer comes up with the answers, in a book that is vast, exhaustively researched, exhilarating, and sometimes appalling in its revelations.Binding Type: Paperback

Love this tuxedo!
Love this tuxedo! I purchased this tuxedo in a size Small for my son to wear to a wedding. He is 5”10 and weighs 180 lbs. Everything fit well except the pants needed to be hemmed a bit. My son looked very handsome in this tux and received several compliments. Great buy!

Really slim - err on the side of caution even when using the size guide
Color: Deep Green, Size: Large
Men's Slim Fit 3-Piece Tuxedo Set, One Button Shawl Collar Jacket Vest Pants for Party, Business and Wedding
When they say slim fit, they mean it. I’m normally a large. I used their size guide to make sure I chose the right size, and when it arrived, it definitely was too small in the shoulders and the stomach (ahem). That being said, my weight fluctuates a lot, so I’m sure I’ll be able to wear it sometime. The tuxedo itself is really nice and stylish. It looks good, and even though it’s synthetic, it feels pretty good too.

Appearance nice, fit is a little bulky on the jacket.
Color: Beige, Size: X-Small
It looks very nice. The pants fit very well for my 5' 8.5" son with long legs. The jacket was a little bulkier. We will try to tailor it a little.
