In the book "Fundraiser in Chief: Presidents and the Politics of Campaign Cash" by Brendan J. Doherty, the author explores the role of campaign finance in the modern presidency. Doherty's research reveals that despite the public's high expectations of the president, campaign finance is an area where presidents excel. However, Doherty argues that this fundraising ability comes with its own set of challenges. The book highlights the impact of rising campaign costs, contribution limits, and the influence of groups like Super PACs on presidential fundraising. Doherty also discusses the creation of joint fundraising committees as a consequence of Supreme Court decisions and their impact on presidential time and resources. Overall, the book sheds light on the complexities and regenerative powers of the current campaign finance system. [Extracted from the article]

This essay offers poetry criticism of the poem "General Prologue," in Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales." It explores the pleasure about historicism, gendered identities, and the aggression and eroticism of masculine aristocracy by means of the Yeoman. It also discusses the familial relation of the Knight and Squire and compares the characteristics of the Knight, the Parson, and the Plowman. The author also cites the disorganization and confusion in the poem.
