The son of a Lithuanian blacksmith, Sidney R. Yates rose to the pinnacle of Washington power and influence. As chair of a House Appropriations Subcommittee, Yates was a preeminent national figure involved in issues that ranged from the environment and Native American rights to Israel and support for the arts. Speaker Tip O'Neill relied on the savvy Chicagoan in the trenches and advised anyone with controversial legislation to first "clear it with Sid!" Michael C. Dorf and George Van Dusen draw on scores of interviews and unprecedented access to private papers to illuminate the life of an Illinois political icon. Wise, energetic, charismatic, petty, stubborn--Sid Yates presented a complicated character to constituents and colleagues alike. Yet his get-it-done approach to legislation allowed him to bridge partisan divides in the often-polarized House of Representatives. Following Yates from the campaign trail to the negotiating table to the House floor, Dorf and Van Dusen offer a rich portrait of a dealmaker extraordinaire and tireless patriot on a fifty-year journey through postwar American politics.

Sid Vicious, most controversial member of the Sex Pistols did not survive to see them reform in 2002. He was the epitome of punk rock, brash, abusive, a hopeless heroin addict. His brief 21 years became a metaphor for all that was rotten in rock, culminating in his lethal overdose as he contemplated a life sentence for the murder of his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen. Controversial and compelling, SID VICIOUS: Rock'n'Roll Star documents the rise and fall of this rock colossus.
