"""The Texas Observer tells it like it is--and tells it the way most newspapers can't, or won't. Fifty Years of the Texas Observer delivers stories that will make you laugh and cry, and finally shake your head in sheer disbelief. Be grateful for the Texas Observer--for the past fifty years and the future.""-- Ann Richards, former governor of Texas ""The conventional wisdom might be that yesterday's news belongs in the recycle bin, but for those who love and yearn for a better Texas, this book proves otherwise.""-- Austin Chronicle"
