It is a very good book Tosh and and important read. It certainly informed my views of the Bush family and the Texas mafia and CIA side of things. It was also very useful in explaining the covert background to the plundering of the Savings & Loan industry by the same forces.
If I recall properly Pete Brewton had two titles in mind. If Poppy Bush didn't get elected President on the Republican ticket then it would've been called:
"The Mafia, the CIA and Lloyd Bentsen"
Bentsen was part of the same very small corrupt clique in Texas with George H W Bush. They were interchangeable. No matter who won the '88 election the essential "programme" would've been the same.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
