Memoir of a journalist from Wilmington, NC, who trained as a newspaper reporter and understood and appreciated history. He was a reporter and commentator for years on several TV news programs, and includes memories of FDR, JFK, the moon landing, and various political campaigns. Well-written, and often witty, this is one of my favorite sentences:
"In the summer after the primaries are finished, we cover both conventions--each combining the worst features of a cattle auction, a clearance sale of damaged merchandise and a sheriff's auction of recovered stolen goods, and above all a social event and fund-raiser by and for the rich."
