Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura does a radio broadcast in St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 27, 1999 . Ventura's second book 'Do I Stand Alone?' is more contemplative and issues-oriented than his first book. "Politicians lie," Ventura writes in the introduction of his new book, a copy of which was obtained Wednesday, August 23, 2000 by the Saint Paul Pioneer Press in St. Paul, Minn. "The media distort. The spin doctors spin. No wonder we're discouraged. We don't know who to believe anymore," he wrote in the 262-page book onself-serving politicians, scandal-mad media and ways to find a middle ground in America's toughest debates.
