[Ron · Rating 4 out of 5]

I discovered his books while working a very stressful job. I always kept a few in my desk for lunch time.

His unique view of the world and politics especially, really helped me through stressful days.

artfully done (thurber approved)

[Faysal Subhani · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another brilliant collection from the funniest man of the '70s. After reading a few of his books, it's interesting how one begins to notice a pattern in his writing. It doesn't reveal the biting sarcasm one usually comes to expect from satire but rather an almost child-like outlook on the events of the day (Although his pictures with the cigars and horn-rimmed glasses on the book covers give one the initial impression that he'll be to prose what Gilbert Gottfried is to stand up comedy).

very funny...Buchwald captures the craziness of DC in the 1970s

Art Buchwald was one of the more interesting political columnists in the 1960's and 1970's. I used to snicker at his attacks on the Nixon Whitehouse era.
