...exaggerated like that of your death?" "You know, I think you and I will be better friends if we don't meet," Will Rogers once wrote to her. "They tell me you can feel one's face and tell how they look." Wrote Miss Keller to Alexander Graham Bell in 1900: "I was perfectly delighted to receive your letter in braille. It seemed almost as if you clasped my hand in yours and spoke to me in the old, dear way." And in 1922, after hearing her lecture, Carl Sandburg wrote of "the surprise to find you something...

...jacket of Other Voices, Other Rooms 21 years ago. His new book will have lots of characters and "some of them will be recognizable." That is, if he can find time away from his millions of friends.
