Peerless commentary on recent politics and history from one of the preeminent reporters of our time—now with new material

AN INSTITUTION at CBS for decades and a twenty-year mainstay of NPR, Daniel Schorr is a legend in journalism. Come to Think of It collects in one place, for the first time, Schorr’s observations on politics and American life during the past two decades. His essays reveal his mastery of pithy, get-to-the-point analysis, and his experience gives him an authority and range that permeate every page. In these essays we get his on-the-spot reactions to the major and minor events around the turn of the millennium—from the shock of 9/11 to the mainstreaming of Yiddish. Come to Think of It is an unparalleled account of political analysis and personal memory.

“ A brilliant collection of Schorr’s best broadcasts. Great listening, now even better reading.”
—Marvin Kalb

“ One of the great broadcast journalists of our time—scrupulously honest, historically fair, fearless, forthright, and sometimes deliciously insightful.”
—William Safire

“ When there’s something to tell, nobody tells it better than Daniel Schorr.”
—Judith Viorst
