Today on The Neil Haley Show, The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Donald M. Stinson, Author of  DOWNSTAIRS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

At the age of 17, Don Stinson accidentally landed a job in the White House during Watergate. What he saw as the biggest political scandal in American history literally unfolded in front of him, ran the gamut from the deeply profound to the wildly hilarious. A truly insignificant member of the Nixon White House staff, he was also a kid who did the same kind of harebrained things most teenagers do. Only steps from the Oval Office, he fought with the Prime Minister of Italy for space in a restroom. He spilled ice water on Frank Sinatra. And that was just the small stuff. Brimming with relevance to today’s headlines, Downstairs at the White House weaves history, civics, and laugh-out-loud humor together into a unique, very surprising ---and sometimes shocking --story of events that shook America. Downstairs at the White House is published by Eastern Harbor Press LLC. $14.99 USD (Paperback) ISBN:978-0-692-95253-5. Available from Amazon, Kindle, Barnes & Noble, Nook and other fine booksellers. www.downstairsatthewhitehouse.com “Fast-paced, exciting and uproariously funny!” “Imagine your own life as a teenager in the middle of a White House implosion!” - Amazon Reader Reviews – Amazon Reader Reviews About the Author Don Stinson is a graduate of American University and a former senior vice president of the Newspaper Division of Gannett Co., Inc. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he worked with newspapers in Russia, Slovakia and Poland to establish a free and independent press. His accomplishments included being held hostage in a smelting plant, sleeping in an insane asylum guarded by sheep herders, and fighting a goat defending a lavatory door on Russian airliner Aeroflot. The goat won. The author (not the goat) lives in Miami, Florida.
