Summary: Roller-coaster ride through big-time P.R.
Review: Fasten your seatbelts for a wild ride through Norman Wolfson's roller-coaster life as a P.R. man! Wolfson's "Life's Snapshots" are literally verbal photographs of his experiences - full of excitement, tensions, threats and some very famous people.His long personal friendship with the great sports columnist Red Smith has the tender overtones of "Tuesdays with Maurie." But his equally long relationship with cartoonist Al Capp is frank and grim about the man later convicted of rape. On the other hand, he paints a terrifying picture of his client, Nicaraguan dictator Somoza. The man alternated between being cool to Wolfson, warm to the point of embarrassment, and finally trying to lure him back into Nicaragua so his henchmen could kill Wolfson.. There is one word to describe this life and this book: breathtaking.
