Tales of a newspaperman : Ice Bowl and Lombardi through time

"A genius theater curator and marvelous singer wins a major prize. The award is to be given by a famed composer Stephen Sondheim. It's the story of ecstasy and agony. Vince Lombardi on Broadway? Find out how it happened and learn how the legendary Green Bay Packers coach continues to influence people more than 40 years after he last coached the Packers at the Ice Bowl. Have your brain picked by a 108-year-old composer, a present day photographer, and a man who built a university campus out of vapors. You're going to laugh: To understand double-talk, you need an auction-ear. Robert Browning kept track of how fast he wrote with an ode-ometer. Relapse of influenza: Deja flu. Jokes by the bundle are packed in here. One story brushes on love, hate and tremendous turmoil in the newspaper industry. Another tells of the will to get the news out, even if it means turning to wallpaper as newsprint. All the stories are from one newspaperman's experiences."--Jacket
