[Joseph J. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I had a copy of this book some years ago and it was gone in one of my moves. Today I purchased a mint thrift store copy for fifty cents. I'm looking forward to re-reading it in a new century, and in the light of his grown sons, one in the New York governor's office and another son on CNN. I can also relive the election year autumn of 1982 when I worked as a broadcast station assignment editor.
