Summary: Captures an intimate side of many famous people.
Comment: Having known Jess Stearn for many years, I'm always surprised at how great his memory is. He pulls innumerable names and facts out of thin air when recounting his days as a reporter. I guess this is what makes him such a valuable writer for our times. The stories in this volume are interesting, and they show a human face to many famous people. Imagine meeting Grace Kelly before her film career took off, or interviewing Elvis before he became a legend. Or the famous generals, heads of state, etc... The feeling I got from the book was not one of Jess saying "Hey, look who I met, I must be pretty important," but rather that he came away from his "meetings" with an appreciation for the workings of something larger than himself. And in his long life, I know that this has served him well. A terrific book!
