Summary
"For over four decades, reporter Jack W. Germond has made national politics his beat. In this memoir he serves up his inimitable views on politicians and elections across the country and recounts the daily trials of being a political reporter on the road - including often returning home on a late-Friday-night standby flight, a fat man in a middle seat."--BOOK JACKET.
