David Brinkley: 11 Presidents, 4 Wars, 22 Political Conventions, 1 Moon Landing, 3 Assassinations, 2,000 Weeks of News and Other Stuff on Television

Summary: He Forgot The Interesting Stuff
Review: Disappointed almost to the point of disgust, to put it in as straightforward a way as possible. How can someone that has been involved in so much history give us a memoir with so little to say. He has seen so much, interviewed so many important and influential people during the last 40 years surly he has better stories then this. The book started out with the obligatory small town boy stories with the average level of interest, unfortunately the book really never got past this dull, inconsequential stuff. He gave as much time to getting stuck with a dinner bill by the Kennedy's as he did the assassination of JFK. You decide which is more important. Overall I felt the book was a major let down.
