In this third volume of memories, the author depicts some of the people he's met along the way. These anecdotal sketches illuminate some famous folks, to be sure-encounters with writers like Walter Tevis (The Hustler), Robert Penn Warren (All the King's Men), and Richard Yates (Revolutionary Road), even sidelong glances at historical giants like Abe Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant, as well as a sad tale of ill-fated Manhattan socialite Irene Silverman, who was the victim of notorious grifters Sante and Kenneth Kimes.

"Christmas in Connecticut " These words immediately evoke warm images of stained-glass churches on snow-blanketed town greens, merry bands of roving carolers, sleigh bells ringing in the icy night, and candlelit fir trees decorated with popcorn and cranberries. Such a romantic world, a glittering Christmas card now vanished into the past, comes to life in this new collection of stories, poems, and sermons--forgotten writings that document Christmas as a much-loved tradition from the late 1700s until World War I.
Puritan Connecticut not only ignored the holiday but made it illegal, yet by... "Christmas in Connecticut " These words immediately evoke warm images of stained-glass churches on snow-blanketed town greens, merry bands of roving c...
