One of the Best Books of the Year as chosen by The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Economist, Time, USA TODAY, Christian Science Monitor, and more. "A tale so gripping that one questions the need for fiction when real life is so plump with drama and intrigue" (Associated Press).

Doris Kearns Goodwin's The Bully Pulpit is a dynamic history of the first decade of the Progressive era, that tumultuous time when the nation was coming unseamed and reform was in the air.

The story is told through the intense friendship of Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft--a close relationship that strengthens both men before it ruptures in 1912, when they engage in a brutal fight for the presidential nomination that divides their wives, their children, and their closest friends, while crippling the progressive wing of the Republican Party, causing Democrat Woodrow Wilson to be elected, and changing the country's history.

The Bully Pulpit is also the story of the muckraking press, which arouses the spirit of reform that helps Roosevelt push the government to shed its laissez-faire attitude toward robber barons, corrupt politicians, and corporate exploiters of our natural resources. The muckrakers are portrayed through the greatest group of journalists ever assembled at one magazine--Ida Tarbell, Ray Stannard Baker, Lincoln Steffens, and William Allen White--teamed under the mercurial genius of publisher S.S. McClure.

Goodwin's narrative is founded upon a wealth of primary materials. The correspondence of more than four hundred letters between Roosevelt and Taft begins in their early thirties and ends only months before Roosevelt's death. Edith Roosevelt and Nellie Taft kept diaries. The muckrakers wrote hundreds of letters to one another, kept journals, and wrote their memoirs. The letters of Captain Archie Butt, who served as a personal aide to both Roosevelt and Taft, provide an intimate view of both men.

The Bully Pulpit, like Goodwin's brilliant chronicles of the Civil War and World War II, exquisitely demonstrates her distinctive ability to combine scholarly rigor with accessibility. It is a major work of history--an examination of leadership in a rare moment of activism and reform that brought the country closer to its founding ideals.

Good budget phone with a great display
Color: Gray
The Samsung Galaxy A16 is a solid choice for everyday use. The 6.7” AMOLED screen with 90Hz looks bright and smooth, perfect for watching videos and browsing. Performance is decent for daily tasks, and the 50MP camera takes nice photos for the price. Keep in mind it’s not built for heavy gaming, but for calls, apps, and social media it works very well. Big, vibrant display Good camera for the price Not for heavy use Overall: great value for a budget smartphone.

Budget-Friendly Powerhouse With a Premium Feel ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Color: Black, Color: Black
I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G for a little while now and honestly this phone surprised me in a good way. For the price, you get a huge 6.7” AMOLED display with smooth 90Hz refresh rate that makes videos, scrolling, and everyday use feel way more premium than expected. The screen is bright, colorful, and looks great indoors or outside. The phone runs smoothly for daily tasks like social media, YouTube, calls, browsing, and multitasking. Battery life has been excellent and easily lasts all day for me. The included 25W fast charger is a huge bonus because it charges up pretty quickly. The 50MP camera also takes really solid photos in good lighting with nice detail and color. For an affordable unlocked phone, I was impressed with the overall camera quality. Another thing I liked is the factory unlocked dual SIM support which makes it super convenient for travel or separate work and personal lines. Build quality feels sturdy, the black finish looks clean, and the splash resistance gives extra peace of mind. If you want a reliable Samsung phone without spending flagship money, this is an easy recommendation. Great value, dependable performance, and way more features than I expected at this price point.

Galaxy A16 unlocked
Color: Light Green
It works very well. Battery lasts for four or five days with normal phone calls and texting. I do not use it for games nor watching videos. Prefer reading E-mails on desktop computer. Screen is not big enough for scrolling through E-mails. Screen is very good looking and has nice colors. Upgrade to Android 16. Camera makes very good quality pictures. Overall, I am very pleased wit the Galaxy A16.
