Пълно описание

The battle for the White House following the election of November 7, 2000 was arguably one of the major media spectacles in U.S. history, comparable to the Army-McCarthy hearings, the Kennedy assassination, the Watergate hearings, the Iran-Contra affair, the O.J.

Concluding sections on "Lesson and Conclusions" suggests some solutions to the problems revealed and a final secti
