A News Story

It was a great personal failure but was to continue him on an almost pre-determined path. This book is a hybrid. The author spent almost 50 years as a television writer and the book is written in the style of a TV script without the tape and camera cues. As a result it is a first a book and a script. It is a blend of the two styles. It can be read and it can be spoken a new literary approach.
