"Just
like THE BOYS ON THE BUS did a generation ago, THE GIRLS IN THE
VAN gives us an intimate portrait, up front and personal, of a major
political campaign." -Gail Sheehy, author of HILLARY'S
CHOICE
"I liked this book a lot. THE GIRLS IN THE VAN is wise and
funny about all the things that have changed in the last thirty
years with covering elections-modems, cell phones, working mothers
in the press corps-and all the things that haven't-the speech you
know by heart, the terrible, wonderful song parodies, and the almost-never-wonderful
food. Beth Harpaz also offers some of the best insights I've read
into the woman who is our most famous, and most mysterious, senator."
-Bruce Morton, CNN National Correspondent
"Twenty-eight years after THE BOYS ON THE BUS have pulled over,
THE GIRLS IN THE VAN have the right of way. For a veteran
of the 1972 campaign, Beth Harpaz's account of the coverage, the
camaraderie, the cynical songs and cracks, and always, the competition
to get the right lead on the right story right now is a reminder
of the way it was and still is. Her campaign diary is fine
reading for anyone interested in politics, Clintons and the inside
lore of the way campaigns are covered." -Walter
Mears, AP Senior Political Correspondent
