Publisher's Synopsis
There is value in reading what an intelligent and skillful writer has to say on the spur of the moment -- without our advantage of hindsight -- about the day's events: Bush's pardon of the Iran-contra conspirators, the increasing prominence of Ross Perot, Clinton's much-discussed haircut on the Los Angeles airport runway, Oliver North's unsuccessful senatorial campaign. Although writing for the moment, Schell is aware that events happen in historical context. WRITING IN TIME chronicles the forces responsible for vast political upheaval and change in the last decade of the twentieth century.
