Description
Life is presented as a series of newspaper stories in this whimsical memoir that lampoons conventional wisdom with parody, pathos, and some surprising gut punches. It's seventy years of daily "exclusives" from a reporter, editor, and book author who grew up fashioning his own newspapers and never stopped--the Cuban missile crisis, the Vietnam draft lottery, marriage and children, Jack Kevorkian and the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal, the climate emergency, love and loss, the circles of life.
