Also for work...I'm currentlyl in the middle of Children and Television by Gerald Lesser. It's, of course, the story of how Sesame Street came about and it underscores the combination of guts and innovation and creativity that Joan Ganz Cooney must have possessed to have gotten such a ground-breaking project off the ground. She also seemed to have a knack for picking just the right person for each job, which ensured success for the project as a whole. An inspirational and informative read.

Great book on the making of Sesame Street in the late 60s / early 70s.
