SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"In Our Culture of Pandering, former U.S. Senator Paul Simon interrogates the arenas of politics, media, religion, and education to decry the compromising practices that confuse public service with profit making and popularity as he calls needed attention to leadership failures that undercut the best interests of the nation to appease a powerful elite.".
Text of Note
"Lest we grow complacent and our nation static, Simon urges us to demand more from the political candidates who chase dollars and cater to polls, to raise our expectations of media outlets that peddle gossip and scandals while policy issues and international news receive little or no treatment at all.
Text of Note
He asks us to consider the implications of churches that spend more remodeling their buildings than providing charity within their own communities and throughout the world, and he presses us to acknowledge the staggering, long-term consequences of academic institutions that lower their standards to sustain their reputations and funding."--BOOK JACKET.
