Wonderfully written!!
I enjoyed reading this book. Al was definitley a loveable S.O.B..The man really built an empire in spite of all the critics that believed an National paper was a ridiculous idea. He did it with style, grace, and charm. The book also reminded me of an old saying "every failure plants a seed of an equivalent success."

It is a great book
A great autobiography by the founder of USA today. I read this book in one sitting and totally admire his fierecely competitive attitude. He made no excuse for being an sob, and did everything to get to the top. He admits that he can be funny, charming to his friends, and a nasty sob to his enemies. His adaptability while maintaining a laser-like focus on the ultimate goal is a lesson for young people to emulate.

What a sad man
Mr. Neuharth is indeed a sad and cynical man. He equates 'elitism' with critical thinking and casts himself as a man of the people, just listening to their opinions via his polls and town meetings. And yet he talks of his fancy jets and other staples of his lavish and selfish lifestyle. Similar Products
