Ann Richards. Touchstone Books, $9.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-671-72513-6
This autobiography tells of Texas state treasurer Richards's upbringing, her experience as a wife, mother and grandmother, and her success in the Democratic Party. PW called this campaign literature ``beguilingly candid'' and wrote that Richards ``projects a folksy image flavored here with self-deprecating humor, which does not conceal an astute, disciplined mind, a resourceful politician.''
