All Together: The Formidable Journey to the Gold with the 1964 Olympic Crew
“In this book on the spectacular races at the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games, Bill Stowe writes with the same deadly accuracy and drive that he showed as the stroke of that crew. He writes not as his own remembrances would be so long after the fact, but rather in the tightly woven factual web of interviews of rowers from around the world. This is a compelling book because it develops the diverse backgrounds and experiences that a small group of men brought for the sole purpose of winning a gold medal in the Olympics. It was so momentous that this feat has not been repeated for the United States for 40 years, and then only with the force of a truly national effort and all of the weight and backing that that brings. Vesper is a storied club and it is in this romantic context that this group of lightly regarded mature men won for their club, their city and their country. Each man brings a special facet of himself to build the mosaic that created the perfect mix. This is a compelling story, intricately researched and crisply written that makes it a must for people who dream and who want to succeed.” Allen P. Rosenberg
Coach of the 1964 Olympic Crew “ ALL TOGETHER is an inspirational story about one of the biggest upsets in Olympic history. A must read for any American who has ever picked up an oar” Mike Teti
Coach of the 2004 Olympic Crew .

Wild Women In The White House: The Formidable Females Behind the Throne, On the Phone, and (Sometimes) Under the Bed (Wild Women Series)
Part Irreverent Portrait Gallery, part exuberant expose, Wild Women in the White House introduces an unforgettable array of feisty first ladies and mutinous housekeepers, bigamist brides, subversive office seekers, and, of course, the ever-burgeoning bevy of backdoor paramours who have held (or at least briefly handled) the reins of executive power. Rollicking and revealing, this latest gem from the author of Wild Women and Wild Words from Wild Women offers and eye-opening journey into the realm of the eclectic sisterhood whose outrageous works and deeds haverocked the fusty old foundations of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue..and sometimes the entire nation. From Day One of American democracy, scores of ahead-of-their-times trend-buckers have more than matched the mettle of the men in the Oval Office..
