White House to your own house, the 250 best insights on
improving our country--from the editors of George magazine.
250 Ways to Make America Better is a selection of essays,
cartoons, thoughts, and poems from an all-star cast of
Americans. From Ice T to Isaac Stern, Joan Rivers to Rob
Reiner, Stephen Ambrose to Mo Vaughn, 250 writers, humorists,

be forced to be celibate for their entire terms of office;
rap titan Sean "Puffy" Combs stresses the
importance of the presence of God in American life;
cartoonist Roz Chast draws a triptych suggesting we should
blow up all the shopping malls, send a certain outspoken
conservative into outer space, and bring back

book run the gamut from William F. Buckley, Jr., to Senator
John McCain, from Dr. Joycelyn Elders to Dick Armey. Part
inspiration, part information, this book is a fascinating,
humorous, and revealing look at the endless possibilities for
im
proving life in America.
