Duncan Jr. spent thirty years in the US House. In this colorful series of anecdotes, Duncan provides an overview of experiences he has had in a long, productive life. While he touches on serious issues and challenges he faced, he has a deft eye for detail and a self-deprecating style that make this an unusual work. Following a roughly chronological order, there are stories about his family, early life, and experiences as a lawyer and judge, a long chapter on his congressional career, some stories about celebrities, sports stars, and presidents he's met, and some highlights of his life after Congress"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Duncan, John J. $q (John James), $d 1947- 610 10 $a United States. $b House $b House $v Biography. 610 17 $a United States. $b House. $b House. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00536930 650 0 $a Legislators $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Politicians $z Tennessee $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1989- 650 7 $a Legislators. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995828 650 7 $a Politicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069915 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Tennessee. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205353 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a Since 1989 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 776 08 $i Online version: $a Duncan, John J.
