Norman Lear : His life and times / Tripp Whetsell.

Early childhood and youth
College (briefly) and off to war
Return to civilian life
California dreaming
Major break #1
Up and down the Martin and Lewis Merry Go Round
Putting words into the big mouth and other adventures
marriage #2 and other ups and downs
In tandem
Family origins
On a mission
Rube tube awakening
On the air
The makings of a hit
Lightening in a bottle
The tandem sitcom machine swings into high geer
And then there's Maude
Tandemonium
New additions
Spinning off a spin-off
The Jeffersons move on up
Humps and bumps
Keep on doing what you do
Mary Hartman mania
Changes at 704 Hauser Street and shifting priorities
End of an era
1980-2023.
