On Questioning the President
On May 7, 2016, former President Bill Clinton delivered the commencement address at Loyola Marymount University. Clinton, a graduate of Georgetown University, another Jesuit University, received an honorary degree and also celebrated his nephew's graduation from LMU. As part of the activities surrounding the former president's visit, I was asked to conduct a 30-minute interview with the president that would become a part of a story in the university magazine, and would also be uploaded onto the website of the World Policy Institute at Loyola Marymount University, for which I serve as president. It was a great opportunity, spoiled by the fact that on Friday morning, just one day before the interview was to take place, the Clinton \"people\" let me know that due to a change in logistics (part of the reason was that Hillary Clinton too would be attending the ceremony), the interview was cancelled. Disappointed, yet armed with my already prepared interview questions, I wondered just how good (or bad) my questions were.

Social Desirability Effects and Support for a Female American President
Public opinion polls show consistently that a substantial portion of the American public would vote for a qualified female presidential candidate. Because of the controversial nature of such questions, however, the responses may suffer from social desirability effects. In other words, respondents may be purposely giving false answers as not to violate societal norms. Using an unobtrusive measure called the \"list experiment,\" we find that public opinion polls are indeed exaggerating support for a female president. Roughly 26 percent of the public is \"angry or upset\" about the prospect of a female president. Moreover, this level of dissatisfaction is constant across several demographic groups.

Polls and Politics
This hard-hitting and engaging examination of polls and American politics asks an essential question: do polls contribute to the vitality of our democracy or are they undermining the health of our political system? Leading scholars address several key issues such as how various types of polls affect democracy, the meaning attributed to polling data by citizens and the media, the use of polls by presidents, and how political elites respond—or do not respond—to public polls. The contributors assert that while polls tread a fine line between informing and manipulating the public, they remain valuable so long as a robust democracy obliges its political leaders to respond to the expressed will of the people.

Leadership Challenges in a Hyper-Changing World
The sight was heartbreaking-thousands of refugees scrambling onto a train in hopes of entering Europe, others walking hundreds of miles with no food or water. A few were probably economic migrants, but most were fleeing war. From Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, they filled highways, drained the resources of a dozen nations, and, eventually, taxed the patience and political will of a broad swath of European leadership. Here, Genovese details a landscape of hyper-change and the development of tomorrow's leaders.

As the presidency apparently eclipses Congress, the courts in power, and public/media attention, the balance of powers has tilted. In this accessible book, leading scholars explore the reasons for and implications of the rising power of the presidency.
