Story
For years, the legendary sports journalist pulled no punches. Cosell said of himself, "Arrogant, pompous, obnoxious, vain, cruel, verbose, a showoff. There's no question that I'm all of those things." His blustery, cocksure personality ensured that this larger-than-life sports commentator remains as well known today as many of the athletes he covered. His keen insights, ability to see past the glitz, and direct manner earned him widespread respect and admiration. Above all, one-of-a-kind Howard Cosell was entertaining.

At the 1984 Olympics, the United States rowing team—for the first time in nearly 30 years—had a serious chance to win an Olympic medal in the single sculls. Four genuine challengers emerged for the opportunity to represent the US. They competed fiercely in a sport that held no promise of financial reward. What drove these men to endure a physical pain known to no other sport?

Story
Though celebrated playwright Wendy Wasserstein was firmly rooted in New York's cultural life, her appeal is universal. Shiksa Goddess collects her urbane, inspiring, and deeply empathetic essays, all written when she was in her forties, and all infused with her trademark irreverent humor. The full range of Wasserstein's mid-life obsessions are covered in this eclectic collection— everything from Chekhov, politics, and celebrity to family, fashion, and real estate.

Bi-partisan politics, bimbo eruptions, grandstanding in Congress, backstabbing tactics, and more are covered in this fascinating and revealing memoir.
