Since van Sustern has a big hit with On the Record, her hour-long prime-time news program on Fox, does she really need a bully pulpit?

Van Susteren, former criminal defense attorney and host of "On the Record "on Fox, offers her opinions on a variety of controversial issues and celebrity-driven topics, including her switch to Fox from CNN and her eye tuck. Although she is presumed to be a liberal, Van Susteren maintains that her sensibilities are solidly rooted in her Catholic midwestern background and defy easy categorization. She's as much influenced by the nearly 20 years she spent practicing law as by her fairly recent career as television anchor and talk-show host. She offers a behind-the-scenes look at news shows, including correspondence from viewers; the interviews "from hell"; and the stress and occasional absurdity of "getting the get," the most sought-after guest for a television show. She defends using the controversial Mark Fuhrman as a frequent contributor on her show and recalls interviews and conversations with Henry Kissinger, O. J. Simpson, Ted Turner, and Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. Van Susteren turns her cogent analysis to the death penalty, cameras in the courtroom, corporate greed, the politics of patriotism, and tort reform. Whether or not readers agree with her positions, they will enjoy Van Susteren's candor and humor. (Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2003, American Library Association.)
