An acerbic, witty, wry, bittersweet, and exquisitely penned memoir, Jani Confidential tells how Jani Allan became a world-famous columnist and reveals much of life behind the scenes at the Sunday Times. Those who remember the “Just Jani” column will be intrigued and delighted, and those who missed out on those heady times will be captivated by this memoir of betrayal, back-stabbing, and life in the very fast lane. A storyteller beyond compare, she shares her remarkable story—from her adoption, her controlling mother, and the fallout of two broken marriages to the fabulous brittle creature that the tabloids tore to shreds, devoured, and then spat out.

Explores the contradictory nature of public opinion.Combining political philosophy with a study of political behavior, Richard T. Longoria examines the contradictory nature of public opinion on policy issues. He argues that public opinion is often characterized by dialetheial paradoxes-when a statement and the contradiction of that statement are both held to be true. For example, a voter may express a desire for a balanced federal budget but also be against reducing entitlement programs, increasing taxes, or any other solution to achieve that goal. Longoria focuses on various social issues and domestic and foreign policies to explore these types of contradictory and incompatible preferences, arguing that they stem from the pragmatic nature of Americans' worldview, which prefers expediency over consistency. These inconsistencies are typically called "non-attitudes," but Longoria suggests it would be better to call them "bi-attitudes." When people have internalized the contradictions and believe in both ideas even when the two are incompatible, they are being transconsistent rather than inconsistent. Transconsistency, Longoria concludes, leads to perpetual dissatisfaction with the political system because the government often attempts to satisfy the incompatible preferences of a two-faced public.

Janie Montgomery at thirty-two did something she thought made her crazy or a fool. When most women her age were settling into a career, she chose to quit hers and open her own business. Moving to Edenton, North Carolina and into the small home her grandmother left, she took change one step further by starting a business she knew nothing about. But she had a plan. When she discovered handsome Alexander Drake had opened an office next door to hers, she was a little apprehensive. His little ankle-biter, Puddles, had tripped her up, and gotten their acquaintance off to a rocky start. Little did she know that the trip up in the park would lead to things not in her business plan.
