    First edition of this "wise and compelling guide" (Stephen Covey). Octavo, original cloth. Association copy, inscribed by David Mahoney on the half-title page in the year of publication to William Safire, who contributed the foreword, "Feb 1998 To Bill not for what you are but for what you have made me. Gratefully, David." The recipient, William Safire, was an important American author, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, journalist, and presidential speechwriter. He joined Nixonâs campaign in the 1960 Presidential race, and again in 1968. Following Nixonâs 1968 victory, Safire served as a presidential speechwriter for both Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew. He was a frequent guest on Meet The Press, describing himself as the voice of âlibertarian conservativesâ and authored several political columns, most notably his weekly column âOn Languageâ which appeared in The New York Times Magazine from 1979 until the month of his death in 2009. He authored two books on grammar and linguistics: The New Language of Politics (1968) and what Zimmer called Safireâs âmagnum opus,â Safireâs Political Dictionary. Safire later served as a member of the Pulitzer Prize Board from 1995 to 2004 and in 2006 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush. Fine in a fine dust jacket. "The longevity strategy takes specific planning for physical health, for mental acuity, for financial security, for family and friendships, and for the systematic shifts in emphasis of career and avocation that keep the mind alert and the spirit alive" (William Safire, foreword).
