A Treasury of Great American Scandals by Farquhar, Michael

A witty compendium of the most salacious, outrageous, and quirky misdeeds in American history. In our present era of tawdry sex scandals and cheap political shots, as we cling to our sense of patriotism and our national unity soars, we long for the good old days of good old-fashioned American values: a more dignified, genteel time, when honor and decency were prized above all. Alas, a history lesson is in order.
