From the Publisher:
A distinguished collection of thought-provoking essays
For the first time, Deadlines & Datelines gathers together essays by the bestselling author and CBS Evening News anchorman. Ranging from the Iraq conflict to political turmoil in Russia, from tragedies like the Jonesboro, Arkansas, shoolyard shooting to the inspirational courage of survivors of the Oklahoma City bombing, Deadlines & Datelines offers readers a unique chance to share the insights of one of America's premier newsmen. With his distinctive blend of frontline determination and a journalist's knack for a good story, Rather looks at the awesome struggles and everyday accomplishments he's witnessed at home and around the globe. Deadlines & Datelines is not without lighter moments. In one laugh-out-loud essay, Rather skewers the phenomenon of "dumb bass," or bass that are bred to go after any hook in sight. In "When Scandal Rocks the White House," word of a real-life "innapropriate intimate relationship" nearly derails the presidency--of Abraham Lincoln. On the culture beat, Rather offers personal interviews with Dolly Parton and Don Imus, insightful appreciations of Debbie Reynolds and Susan Lucci, and sometimes surprising tributes to Audrey Hepburn, Charles Kuralt, and Lawrence Welk. Throughout these essays, Rather offers readers a wide range of thought-provoking observations and shows yet again the skill and intelligence that have made him "part of our world" for more than four decades.
