By Henry Waxman"How does Congress work? With utmost difficulty, reveals longtime House member Waxman, but those who hold it in low regard, he adds, "lack a full appreciation for what Congress really does."...After 35 years in the House of Representatives, Waxman, the mustached congressman from California, offers a very readable insider's account of his 35 years in the House. The longtime governmental watchdog crusaded for AIDS awareness, the Clean Air Act and stronger tobacco regulations as chairman of the Health and Environment subcommittee. The book chronicles the strategies and horse trading necessary to enact these regulations, including coalition building, raising public awareness and remaining informed on the countless issues affecting his constituency..... His conviction that government can better the lives of citizens is uplifting and strengthened by his record of implementing landmark legislation. "
