How the Weather Was

4/5 ( ratings)

“Beautiful…persons and events through the eyes of a sharp, articulate observer.” —NEW YORK TIMES

“No one else has written a piece so startling about the legend of Babe Ruth…After reading this book you will never feel the same about a lot of legends…A very special book…A book to treasure.” —CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

Robert Frost, Claudio Arrau, John Lardner, Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Leo Durocher, Bobby Thomson, Al Rosen, Jascha Heifetz, and other heroic figures in their years of glory, in their times of trial. This is a book about people to be remembered, and what it was like in America at a very special time.
