Personally signed by Senator Paul Simon
In this candid and sometimes controversial autobiography, the late former Senator Paul Simon sheares his insights into the activities of President Clinton and other politicians as well as his views on international affairs.
Michael Wright, The New York Times:
Throughout much of his life, it seems, former Senator Paul Simon -- the son of a Lutheran minister, forced by his mother to take piano lessons -- has been surrounded by people and institutions that haven't quite measured up. At the same time, he's never been one to retreat overwhelmed (except, perhaps, for those dismal postelection days of 1994, when, as the Democrats tried to adjust to their new minority status, he announced he was not running for re-election in 1996). And as Simon has set about trying to right wrongs -- as a newspaperman, a state legislator, a member of Congress -- he's never been one to keep his admirable efforts off the front pages.
