In this latest collection, the popular commentator on the fancies and frustrations of modern life turns his attention to topics including elevators, underwear, income tax, lifestyles, Senate debates, computers, marriage hymns, banks, and procrastination
This is an assemblage of Rooney's innumerable and thoughtfully (mostly) sassy (always) letters responding to government and business folk, viewers of 60 Minutes, organizations asking him for a speaking engagement, lawyers, friends, those interested in religious matters, and others. And the letters are arranged into sections according to the type of recipient. Letters that prompted Mr. Rooney's replies are not listed (though Rooney's style allows one to easily understand the original letter's gist). No notes or index, but there seems little need for either. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
This collection of essays is almost 30 years old, but the late AndyRooney is still right on about the state of the world both as it is and as it was. Rooney always had the courage to say something about whatever was on his mind and this book of essays is just that--his thoughts and humor. I love it...He will be missed...his writings and his wisdom.
The Humorist and commentator offers a collection of essays on such topics as psychiatrists, diets, sweepstakes, spies, the fifty-first state, politics, repairmen, grand-fatherhood, and gardening.
