The Unspoken Grief of Never Becoming a Grandparent: A growing number of Americans are choosing not to have children. Their parents are grappling with what that means for them. (Here is an app for reading archived paywalled articles.)
The Making of a President: 1960, by Theodore White. (affiliate link) White was actively involved in the Kennedy campaign in 1960, and he gives a lively insider’s perspective (admittedly leaving out some of the details that might mar the Camelot legend) on a successful campaign. His later books on other presidential campaigns are not nearly as lively— in part because he was not directly involved, in part because the 1960 race was an unusually lively contest.
The Comeback — the 2004 Red Sox (caution: language)
