		John Adams had none of the qualities of popular leadership which were so marked a characteristic of his second cousin, Samuel Adams; it was rather as a constitutional lawyer that he influenced the course of events.
		Political conditions in Great Britain, at the moment, made the conclusion of peace almost a necessity with the British ministry, and eventually the American negotiators were able to secure a peculiarly favourable treaty.
		In 1800, Adams was again the Federalist candidate for the presidency, but the distrust of him in his own party, the popular disapproval of the Alien and Sedition Acts, and the popularity of his opponent, Thomas Jefferson, combined to cause his defeat.

		Adams' decision to skip this rare opportunity had nothing to do with his political views, nothing to do with being left off the Red Sox postseason roster and everything to do with being loyal to his current employers, the Phillies.
		Adams thoroughly enjoyed his first stay in Philadelphia, when he struggled as a starter in 2002 and excelled as a setup reliever in 2003.
		Adams reluctantly found work elsewhere by signing with the Toronto Blue Jays, and that led to his unforgettable three months in Boston, which definitely were the highlight of his career - even though he didn't perform well for the Red Sox in the regular season or pitch at all in the postseason.

	The Adams Family Papers Editorial Project
		The variations in his appearance are astonishing: The Adams who appears to be a Dutch burgher in a Vinkeles engraving bears little resemblance to the man Copley portrayed a year later; and the delicate physiognotrace by Saint-MÈmin differs far more radically from the Browere life mask than can be accounted for by technique alone.
		A chart of the painted and engraved derivatives from Stuart's famous portrait of John Adams shows how the second president's image was established in the public mind during the 19th century.
		Portraits of John Quincy Adams and His Wife makes available a record which both affords unique visual documentation of the most varied political career in American history and exemplifies the work of the principal American portraitists from the days of Copley and Stuart to the dawn of the daguerrean era.

		Where John Quincy Adams succeeded in becoming president 24 years after his father served, Bush may fail--and the difference will owe much to the level of independence each son was encouraged to pursue within the family, and the political value of that independence.

	The Roosevelts, Kennedys, and Now the Bushes (washingtonpost.com)
		And while the Kennedy family for years was virtually synonymous with political charisma and ambition, no family member after JFK reached the presidency, and no one in the generation after him and his famous brothers -- Robert and Edward, both U.S. senators -- has approximated their political achievements.
		The Bush family's success is all the more remarkable for another reason: Even many admirers regard the Bushes as distinctly life-sized characters and have been surprised to witness how the current president's policies have reshaped American politics and the world at large.
		Ultimately, the family's historical reputation may hinge on whether the current president gets credit, or blame, for policies that have sharply divided the country for most of his four years.

		All too often, however, Brookhiser's conservative politics (so evident in his 1991 The Way of the WASP) color the text: James Buchanan is described as a "gracious, gutless homosexual whose lame-duck cabinet was filled with traitors," and Elizabeth Cady Stanton's complicated race politics are ridiculed.
		THE FIRST TIME anyone asked a member of the Adams family about his famous ancestors, she was joking.
		I recently read both McCulloch's biography, John Adams, and Nagel's John Quincy Adams and recommend that all interested students of the Adamses should bypass Brookhiser's volume and stick with the full biographies, both of which offer a complete look at this family that was so essential to the founding and beginnings of America.
