Robert Penn Warren’s ‘All the King’s Men’ remains just as insightful about ambition, electioneering and governing as when first published in 1946Bob Landry/The LIFE Images Collection via Getty ImagesHalf a lifetime ago, I read Robert Penn Warren’s “All the King’s Men” and thought it just breathtakingly
wonderful, so much so that I spent money I didn’t have to buy the 1946 first edition in a fine dust jacket.

The book isn’t exactly fiction. It loosely covers Huey Long.
Exactly why educators should be advocating the reading of classic literature.
It’s more 1984... and that book everybody should read

I read the book this summer...realized this was where the term 'slick Willie' came from...the term used for Bill Clinton.
'They say it is a terrible thing to fall into the Grace of God. I am prepared to believe that.'
If you don’t vote, you don’t matter. Nail’em up !
One of the greatest novels ever written.

Who will ever be able to trust them again? I still don't understand how wearing or not wearing face masks has taken Roe v Wade status in America. You dick.
