Customer Reviews

Paul Greenberg at his best

For those who have not read Paul Greenberg (or have never heard of him), this book is a good place to start. It is a collection of his newspaper editorials about famous, infamous, and little-known people from across the spectrum - politicians, authors, actors, sports figures, and more. Paul brings both sympathetic insights and subtle incisions into each biographical sketch. The chapter on Ayn Rand alone is worth the price of the book, and it is only a typical example of Paul's ability to combine character assessments with observations having moral value.
