Yet in Tom Perkins' memoir, the Silicon Valley legend--hardly short of ego--manages that trick, revealing himself in all his "nerdy" glory and lifting the veil on the very good life. He sews dry humor through tales of yachting triumphs, road rallies in expensive cars, tech start-ups and the boardroom coup he instigated at Hewlett Packard.

Frankel said that the bubble was not covered extensively in the late 1990s because journalists are more interested in projects with a more immediate impact than those with longer time frames. John D.
