Thanks. vince From the rear cover of the book: Robert A. Nisbet (1913-1996) was Albert Schweitzer Professor of the Humanities at Columbia University... Nope, doesn't sound like the same guy. Wolfgang twins, maybe? :) |

Get on the list to receive the Book Mailer from Greycliff Publishing. It is a good read and I challange you to spend less than a hundred bucks when you call them. That was La Fontaine's Publishing Company and I have never been dissapointed by any book they recomended. Indeed. :-) I've spent a goodly sum with Greycliff, and barely scratched the surface of the books, etc. they offer. Highly recommended!

Frank Reid Thank, Frank. I'll turn the AC down real low, pull my down vest from the back of the closet, and look at this again. Yesterday it was 85 and I spent some very pleasant hours catching speckled sea trout (weakfish) on the Skyway Flats. -- ---- Stev Lenon 91B20 '68-'69 Drowning flies to Darkstar http://web.tampabay.rr.com/stevglo/i...age92kword.htm |

Greg:
I enjoyed, especially his early days, but I couldn't figure out what his midlife crisis was, beyond the divorce, which seemed like it was going to happen regardless. Sometimes a midlife crisis, and a divorce, can be quite marvelous occurences. Are they, then, really crisis? But it was a fun read. ---- Stev Lenon 91B20 '68-'69 Drowning flies to Darkstar http://web.tampabay.rr.com/stevglo/i...age92kword.htm |

It's a twist of the facts to say he favored staff who faked stories. A so-called "favored" reporter faked stories, but that's not the same thing. Raines did lose his job though, he was perceived as an arrogant and inaccessible tyrant by his newsroom staff. -- Ken Fortenberry |
