Summary

A collection of columns and essays is a writer’s treasure chest—here are gems from The Wall Street Journal, the Des Moines Register and the Detroit News. A distinguished journalist displays his wit, feeling, and passion for language in these columns on family, newspaper life, politics, Irish heritage, his Iowa farm and Minnesota boyhood, which read like chapters of a life fully lived, from his coverage of presidents and politics to his poignant pieces on his daughter’s wedding and his son’s death. Original.
