Dirty Politics
New York: WW Norton & Company, 1966. first edition. hardcover. 8vo 295pp. stated first edition. from front flap: "This is the story of dirty campaigning and political chicanery in America, from the time of Washington, when politics was teh concern of an elite few and news traveled slowly, to the present day, when every citizen may vote and news travels at teh speed of light. It is a history of the declining importance of the personal slur and the new importance of innuendo and falsehood.
