Through a combination of amiable anecdotes, sharp-eyed historical reporting, and intense tangled memories of family life, this autobiography captures the legendary personality of television host Larry Zolf. Revealing the phenom often known as 'the Schnozz' to be the most personal of journalists and wittiest of astute observers, this history explores the 'dialectical dancer' who played backroom crony to Robert Kennedy and taught Pierre Trudeau to be a stand-up comedian.
