Continuing with the head-spins, we transition smoothly from Moochie to Manson….Here’s my latest review for BWW…Strongly recommended, especially for those who only want to read one book (or maybe one more book) on the subject:

My latest review for BroadwayWorld.com can be found here…My favorite kind of assassination-lit. The author offers some interesting, apparently hard-earned evidence and interesting discussion about what it all means. But the book is valuable even if you don’t share his conclusions…

Here’s my latest review for Broadway World…Four of Elmore Leonard’s early novels collected by the Library of America, about which, like Leonard himself, I have decidedly mixed feelings:
