Andrew A. Rooney Livres

In 1939, Andrew A. Rooney was a pretty typical twenty-year-old college boy at Colgate University. He played football, was interested in philosophy, thought he wanted to be a writer (but has no idea how to go about becoming one), and felt the America Firsters made pretty good sense. When he read that Hitler had invaded Poland, his first thought was "Where is Brest-Litovsk?" followed quickly by "How can I get out of this?"

This collection of essays is almost 30 years old, but the late AndyRooney is still right on about the state of the world both as it is and as it was. Rooney always had the courage to say something about whatever was on his mind and this book of essays is just that--his thoughts and humor. I love it...He will be missed...his writings and his wisdom.

The Humorist and commentator offers a collection of essays on such topics as psychiatrists, diets, sweepstakes, spies, the fifty-first state, politics, repairmen, grand-fatherhood, and gardening.
