Item Description
Our hometown University of Rochester Press / Boydell & Brewer, Inc. offers a book titled, Window on Congress: A Congressional Biography of Barber B. Conable Jr. Author, James S. Fleming, presents a fascinating portrait of one of the ablest legislators on Capitol Hill. Barber B. Conable Jr. served as a Republican congressman from western New York from 1965 to 1985. He is recognized as one of the most respected members of the House of Representatives in recent years. This biography explores his twenty-year congressional career, focusing on his remarkable educational abilities as a gifted teacher-legislator. Using excerpts from Conable's private journal, his newsletters and news columns, and from personal interviews, James S. Fleming has crafted a book that enables readers to appreciate why Conable was held in high regard by his constituents, his colleagues, the press, and congressional scholars. Political scientist Charles O. Jones expressed the opinion of many when he observed that, Barber Conable was just about everybody's idea of what a congressman should be.""
