As in a play, presidents, vice presidents, and presidential candidates perform on stage for the public and the media. What the nation's leaders are really like and what goes on behind the scenes remains hidden. Secret Service agents have a front row seat on their private lives and those of their wives and children. Crammed with new, headline-making revelations, THE FIRST FAMILY DETAIL: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of the Presidents by Ronald Kessler tells that eye-opening, uncensored story. Since publication of his New York Times bestselling book In the President's Secret Service, award-winning investigative reporter Ronald Kessler has continued to penetrate the wall of secrecy that surrounds the U.S. Secret Service, breaking the story that Secret Service agents who were to protect President Obama hired prostitutes in Cartagena, Colombia and revealing that the Secret Service allowed a third uninvited guest to crash a White House state dinner. Now Kessler presents far bigger and more consequential stories about our nation's leaders and the agency sworn to protect them. Kessler widens his scope to include presidential candidates, former presidents after they leave the White House, and the presidents' relationships to their first ladies and children. From observing Vice President Joe Biden's reckless behavior that jeopardizes the country's safety, to escorting Bill Clinton's mistress at Chappaqua, to overhearing First Lady Michelle Obama's admonitions to the president, to witnessing President Nixon's friends bring him a nude stripper, to seeing their own agency take risks that could result in an assassination, Secret Service agents know a secret world that Ronald Kessler exposes in breathtaking detail. THE FIRST FAMILY DETAIL reveals: - Vice President Joe Biden regularly orders the Secret Service to keep his military aide with the nuclear football a mile behind his motorcade, potentially leaving the country unable to retaliate in the event of a nuclear attack.- Secret Service agents discovered that former president Bill Clinton has a blond mistress. Within minutes of Hillary Clinton's leaving, the woman--codenamed Energizer by agents--shows up to be with Bill every day while the likely future presidential candidate is away.
- The Secret Service covered up the fact that President Ronald Reagan's White House staff overruled the Secret Service to let unscreened spectators get close to Reagan as he left the Washington Hilton, allowing him to be shot by John W. Hinckley Jr. - Secret Service agents have been dismayed to overhear Michelle Obama push her husband to be more aggressive in attacking Republicans and to side with blacks in racial controversies.
- Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan diverted agents from protecting President Obama and his family at the White House and ordered them instead to protect his assistant at her home and illegally retrieve confidential records as a favor to her.
- Because Hillary Clinton is so nasty to agents, being assigned to her protective detail is considered a form of punishment and the worst assignment in the Secret Service.
- Secret Service agents were ordered to ignore security rules and allow the SUV carrying actor Bradley Cooper to drive unscreened into a secure restricted area when President Obama was about to deliver his speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
- Vice President Joe Biden spends millions of taxpayer dollars flying to and from his home in Delaware on Air Force Two. His office tried to cover up the costs of the personal trips.
- Because the Secret Service refused to provide enough magnetometers at his campaign events, Mitt Romney regularly left himself open to assassination by giving speeches to unscreened crowds.
- Vice President Joe Biden swims nude at the vice president's residence in Washington and at his home in Delaware, offending female agents.

Excellent shirt for the $.
So far, great shirt for the $. Washed twice. No shrinkage. Few wrinkles when hung to dry. 3 minutes in the dryer solved that. I wear it for golf. Moisture wicking is great on very hot day. Was concerned the length might be too short because I wear tucked in for golf. No problems. Fit is excellent, cut on the slimmer side. I’m 5’’ 11” with a 33 waist and 41 inch chest, weigh 168. it was excellent not baggy. Not tight. I read it ran small or tight for a medium and several reviews advised to go up a size. I order the large first time and although ok, it was a bit too loose in the waist and chest and shoulder seams rode an inch or so down. I returned for the medium and perfect fit. I like collar, it’s creased firmly at the seam and won’t roll. Overall, a great value and I ordered again in green. Out of stock for other colors or would have ordered more. Long years wear is a question. We’ll see.

Excellent basic polo shirt
Size: X-Large, Color: Olive
Excellent basic polo short-sleeve shirt for business and work. I appreciate the many different colors Amazon provides for this type of shirt online. It also saved me a special trip to the department store. Needed an extra polo shirt right away.

Great fit, looks and quality for the price. I originally bought two different colors to see how they looked. After receiving them, I will buy more. They are so versatile. I’ve worn them with khakis, jeans, or shorts. Great deal!!!

Seems like a good shirt but the large is more like an XL and it it's cut big
Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black
Off the bat, here are two photos of this shirt to help you out: (1) My arms are up and it shows you how big the Large version of this polo is. There is room to spare and plenty of sleeve length. (2) I am holding up one side of the shirt at belt level to show you how long the Large version of this polo is. The photo of the GREEN shirt is NOT THE SHIRT ON THIS PAGE. The green shirt is the slim-fit version.
It's a perfectly good shirt. The problem is that the sizing is unlike any polo I have. I'm 6' 175 lbs, I would say my body type is over on the thin side. I usually buy size Large shirts. When I put this size Large shirt on, it was much bigger than I expected.
I admit, I have been wearing Gap polos for a long time and a few years ago, they went through this process of progressively cutting their polos more and more narrow. At this point, I consider Gap’s polo a fitted polo, and it’s their only polo. In other words, I have only been wearing fitted polo shirts for a long time.
I thought I would switch to a more standard polo, save a little money, and buy some of these Amazon shirts. Same size I buy in all casual shirts. Large. I was expecting a looser fit but, to me, this Large was more like an Extra Large. Much bigger than any Large shirt I had worn in a long time (maybe ever?).
I can't suggest one buy a medium to compensate because I haven't tried one. I also can't say if washing it would shrink it enough. Maybe if I washed it in scalding hot water and ran it through a dryer on the "surface of the sun" setting, it might shrink enough. I’m going to opt for returning them.
Don’t forget to take note of the length of the shirt. It’s long. My Gap polos land a couple of inches below the waistline. These shirts fall much further down (see photo). This is actually great if you tuck it in but not if you don't
Bottom line – it strikes me as a good shirt. You just need to know these are big shirts. I’m going to give the slim-fit version a shot.
*UPDATE* The slim-fit version is a MUCH better fit for me. It's almost, but not quite, too tightly cut. It is a looser fit than the 2018 Gap polo. It does shrink a bit in the wash. I've added a photo of me in a slim-fit green shirt. Also much shorter in length.

Excellent value, consistent fit, cool, comfortable and durable.
Size: Large, Color: Army Green
I have purchased 20 plus of these shirts in the past six months. The first batch in spring, figuring if any inconsistencies or quality issues arose upon delivery, no problem. Amazon's return policy has always been hassle free. After trying on the fourth shirt and noticing no outstanding flaws or differences, all were simply opened, laundered and hung on a hanger. The material is 100 percent cotton, but assuming they are removed from the dryer immediately (medium heat) - no ironing necessary. No appreciable shrinking is observed and no outliers in the batch.
My sport shirt size is men's US large regular fit. Other relevant sizes - 17.5 inch neck, 46 inch shoulders, 34 inch sleeves and 36 inch waist. Overall fit of these shirts is of appropriate roominess without bagginess. Shirt tail length is spot on, work dress code requires tucked in, and they stay tucked in. Casual requires not tucked in, and unless I am reaching for the sky with both hands while on tip toes, the shirt tail/ belt line is not breached. The sleeve length could have been extended by an inch since they taper to an elastic cuff, requiring that the sleeves are pulled back to original position following an extended reach. But given the choice, the sleeves as is are preferred over a straight cut without the elastic cuff.
As an upgrade to the T shirt appearance of the shirt tail when not tucked in, the side seams end with a reinforced, one inch inverted V, a feature not typical in this price range.
To date, durability has not been an issue. Fraying, fabric pilling and fading have not occurred. It is quite difficult, if not impossible, to differentiate the age of two duplicate color shirts purchased in two separate batches.
Again, excellent value, consistent fit, cool, comfortable and durable!
