Michelangelo just finished working on his most illustrious masterpiece; the statue of Moses. He was taken by it. He posed for a while, began to look and look at Moses face, grabbed his chisel, and with a divine fury hit the foot of the patriarch, smashing his toes and screamed: “You are Perfect! Moses, TALK!!”

This is the feeling and this is the very sensation you will feel upon looking at Monica Crowley and while listening to her. A moment of half-divine, half-human presence and  omnipotence. This woman is almost perfect! Although, a stroke of luck launched her career like a rocket when she met President Richard Nixon, and became his aide and assistant, her unparallel intelligence, striking alertness, accentuated touch of class and mesmerizing persona were the  real reasons and the primordial cause of her enormous success in the world of media and broadcasting. Despite her very young age when she entered the world of writing, authorship and politics, Monica had it all. She was a diva in the making and what she needed was just an opportunity to prove it, to shine brighter than the sun…and the opportunity knocked at her door…and President Nixon was there at the door welcoming her to mark the beginning of a sincere, warm and beneficial friendship; Monica has just been hired by President Nixon as his aide and assistant on foreign policies and his right hand in re-organizing his thoughts and completing his writings, thus lending him her creative writing talents and providing him with a strong friendly shoulder to lean on.

At that moment in time, Monica Crowley’s knew she was going to make it big time. And big time she made it, indeed. Today, unquestionably, Monica Crowley is the brightest, the most striking, the most educated and the most mesmerizing-captivating figure of the American media. But, who really is Monica Crowley? What did she accomplish? What did she write about? Where did she grow up? Where she came from? What there is on her agenda? How cultured and educated is she? And why are we today writing about Monica Crowley?
