Summary
 "If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a quitter," Russell Baker's mother always said. Baker certainly never quit - in fact, this fantastic journalist's Pulitzer Prize-winning column appears twice a week in The New York Times. This book, his second autobiographical volume, describes the rewarding stages of his career and his encounters with John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Eugene McCarthy, and other major figures. All the wit, perceptiveness, and poignant humor that has graced his column for many years comes through in this engaging memoir.©1989 by Russell Baker (P)1989 by Dove Books on Tape, Inc.

Critic Reviews

"I am going to think of Russ Baker's new book simply as 'Russell Baker Continued,' and I never want it to stop." (Harrison E. Salisbury)
