      abstract = {At nearly 95, Studs Terkel has written about everyone's  life, it seems, but his own. Here he offers a memoir  which--embodying the spirit of the man himself--is youthful  and vivacious. Terkel begins by taking us back to his  childhood, describing the hectic life of a family trying to  earn a living in Chicago. He then goes on to his  experiences--as a poll watcher charged with stealing votes  for the Democratic machine, as a young theatergoer, and  eventually as an actor himself in both radio and on the  stage--giving us a portrait of the Chicago of the 1920s and  1930s. He tells of his beginnings as a disc jockey after  World War II and as an interviewer and oral historian--a  craft he would come to perfect. Finally, he discusses his  involvement with progressive politics, leading to his  travails during the McCarthy period when he was  blacklisted.--From publisher description.},
