Humor and the Presidency - Signed President Gerald Ford Gerald Ford 1987, 1st edition New York,  Arbor House Pub Co. From the Chief Executive many thought the most amusing in decades, a brief, light look at humor and its relation to the Presidency. In his introduction, Ford pal Edward Williams describes a sense of humor as "indispensable to democracy. . .the ingredient lacking in all the dictatorships." Ford draws on the sometimes biting opinions of political satirists, press agents, and cartoonists. Samples of teasing caricatures are shared, as well as presidential anecdotes--with JFK often in the spotlight. Acknowledging that the humorous barbs frequently hurt, especially when involving White House family members and, in particular, Ford's own renowned clumsiness, Ford still defends humor as crucial to any administration.
