Revue de presse

PRAISE FOR RULES FOR AGING

"To read this book and drink a beverage at the same time is just plain foolish."--Garry Trudeau

"I like this book and am thinking it over. Especially rules 1, 3, 16--wish I'd known that about 15 years ago . . . And 34--'It's not about you'--that's worth the price of the book."--Garrison Keillor

PRAISE FOR WHERE WE STAND

"His essays are exactly what we need as a reminder of who we are, how we got that way, and how we will get through these new and difficult times."--Tom Brokaw
