President Nixon's former counsel illuminates another presidency marked by scandal

Warren G. Harding may be best known as America's worst president. Scandals plagued him: the Teapot Dome affair, corruption in the Veterans Bureau and the Justice Department, and the posthumous revelation of an extramarital affair.

Raised in Marion, Ohio, Harding took hold of the small town's newspaper and turned it into a success. Showing a talent for local politics, he rose quickly to the U.S. Senate. His presidential campaign slogan, "America's present need is not heroics but healing, not nostrums but normalcy," gave voice to a public exhausted by the intense politics following World War I. Once elected, he pushed for legislation limiting the number of immigrants; set high tariffs to relieve the farm crisis after the war; persuaded Congress to adopt unified federal budget creation; and reduced income taxes and the national debt, before dying unexpectedly in 1923.

In this wise and compelling biography, John W. Dean--no stranger to controversy himself--recovers the truths and explodes the myths surrounding our twenty-ninth president's tarnished legacy.

nice but.
So, this really is a nice watch and if you can get it on sale it's a bargain. The bracelet is junk, with hollow end links. I would recommend replacing that with some type of fabric or rubber type strap. The reason I took one star off is because the chrono function isn't the best style. If you don't plan to use it much or only plan to use it for 10 minutes or less that's fine. More than that and the minutes counter flies back to zero and starts counting again which can be confusing and the next register is the combo 24hr and chrono minutes/hours counter which isn't easy to use for timing say 30 minutes or so. The standard type chrono counters are way better by design and Timex sells another one with standard counters with neat multicolored registers for less money. Otherwise it's a solid watch comfortable to wear not too big or thick or heavy. Of course it has mineral glass for the xtl so you need to be careful or it will scratch pretty easily but for the price.....

Value-packed chrono offers so much
I love this watch. Dial and movement are fascinating. It’s quite a show when the chrono is engaged, the timekeeping central seconds hand conyinues sweeping around, and the chrono’s central seconds hand is also sweeping. So you have two central seconds hands chasing each other around the dial when the chrono is engaged. On the retrograde subdial displays, time for a second time zone is displayed when chrono is not engaged. Elegant logo counterweight on one hand. Lots of content, complication and engagement for very little money. Highest recommendation for those interested in a watch that has a lot to offer.

Very nice watch for the money!
Little heavier than I thought. Weighs about 7 oz. the band itself weighs 4 oz. I replaced it with a much lighter leather band. Much more comfortable.

Fly back / duel time zone / under 200 bucks!!!!!
Color: Stainless Steel, Color: Stainless Steel
Incredible people don’t realize Timex is American history. It’s heavy and it’s a flyback chronograph with a dual time., that’s an expensive complication on any other watch. This would be thousands , it’s almost like a fidget toy lol , you have six hands that are working you can dual time on the chronograph as it flies back and have dual time zones for the money. It’s a no-brainer.
