The book travels the path of her remarkable career, showing how she became one of the most influential voices in America. It begins with an essay about Noonan's motivations as a writer and thinker, followed by a personal talk on the day the space shuttle Challenger exploded and the drafting of the speech Ronald Reagan would soon deliver. Then come chapters such as "People I miss, salutes to Tim Russert, Joan Rivers, Margaret Thatcher, and others; "Making trouble," Noonan's sharpest, funniest, and most critical columns about Democrats and Republicans, the idiocracy of government, and Beltway disconnect; "I just called to say I love you," her writing in the wake of 9-11, and clear-eyed foresight on what lay ahead in terms of war and sacrifice; "The loneliest president since Nixon," racking hope and change as it became disillusionment and disappointment with President Obama; and other sections where Noonan discerns the mood of the country, the melodrama of the historic 2008 election, her battles with the Catholic Church, and lighter meditations on baseball, a snowy afternoon in Brooklyn, and motherhood. Annotated throughout, The Time of our Lives articulates Noonan's conservative vision and provides readers with a majestic portrait of American life.--Adapted from book jacket. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2001-2009. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2009- 650 0 $a National characteristics, American. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 1980- 941 $a 25 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702022240.0 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626015543.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331012637.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722052001.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323024930.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204082042.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110063958.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20190328025748.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006093853.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20180719024439.0 952 $l MGPD463 $d 20180718024152.0 952 $l NHPD993 $d 20180714043239.0 952 $l TNPD062 $d 20170919015343.0 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20170815011552.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418112037.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20160505051428.0 952 $l XWPC787 $d 20160429011058.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20160407024756.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20160224010651.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20160202100729.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20160123010226.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20160108010223.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20151215010238.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20151211011100.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20151202011559.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7F8129D498C211E5B5097593DAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
