Hall turns out to be a Harvard alum--a 1981 summa graduate in English, thus giving English concentrators hope despite that bleak job market--but you shouldn't let that fact dissuade you from reading his book.

John Randolph, of Prizzi's Honor fame, brilliantly portrayed an "authentic," folksy political fossil who "holds court" with wry witticisms and hackneyed observations. Finally, Richard Kind of TV's Spin City and Samantha Bennett colorfully reflected the vanity, insecurity and ambition that consume...
