Fine condition light silver gray boards, red spine, and silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Introduction by Larry Gelbart; Prologue: My First Laugh; Epilogue: The Anniversary Ball; Acknowledgments; Index and About Public Affairs Publishers. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. Some darkening at a part of the lower page edge and a repaired closed tear at the upper rear inner jacket flap (see photographs). All pages are in as new unmarked condition and the spine/binding is exceedingly tight and square (see photographs). "Who better to write about the golden age of television that the golden boy himself, Sid Caesar. Had I not been privileged to work with Sid and the extraordinarily gifted writers he attracted and assembled in one room, I doubt I would have become important enough toe be asked to contribute to the back of this jacket. I thank you Sid for your contribution to my human and comedic development - and for writing this warm, informative, and entertaining history of your life and our times." - Carl Reiner. "Caesar's Hours is a must-read for anyone who wants to hear what it was all like straight from god. Well, certainly one of the gods of comedy. Sid Caesar revolutionized comedy like Brando did acting or Hendrix the guitar. They, and others like them, the chosen few, seem to be put on this earth for their craft. This behind-the-scenes and behind-the-man memoir is amazingly informative and a poignant and moving history of the world of comedy by a man who didn't just live in it, but actually created it." - Richard Lewis. "My comedic influences growing up were Johnny Carson, Bill Cosby, and Saturday Night Live. When you watch Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows and Caesar's Hour, it's obvious that he was an enormous influence on all of my role models. Caesar's Hours tells the story of this true comedic pioneer. It also proves that everything and everyone that inspired me as a direct result of Sid's creative genius." - Ray Romano. "I've always liked Sid Caesar and admired him for his integrity, sense of humor, and contribution to television comedy. But now that I've read his book, I love him." - Drew Carey. "I love Sid Caesar. He inspired me to be a comedian." - Billy Crystal. Without Sid Caesar, our times would have been a lot less funny. He was the star and guiding force behind Your Show of Shows and Caesar's Hour, two of the most innovative programs in the Golden Age of Television, and the writers and stars of those shows - including Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, Imogene Coca, Nanette Fabray, Larry Gelbart, Howard Morris, Carl Reiner, and Neil Simon - went on to create the plays, movies, and sitcoms that we now think of as classic American comedy. Caesar's Hours is his artistic autobiography, an account of how these great routines were fashioned and performed, what he learned from his own life, and just what is funny. He takes us inside the famed Writer's Room, onto the stage, and into his life, to show us how some of the funniest moments in television history came to be. In this book, he remembers - and shares - the euphoria, the challenges, and the thrills of these early, great years." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. Garceau, Pete (jacket design) Ilustrador. 1st Edition. As new condition dark gray boards with red spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Damage to the USS Cole; USS Cole: Killed in Action; USS Cole: Wounded in Action; Introduction: Nightmare; Epilogue; Appendix: Threat Condition Measures; Notes; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates and black-and-white drawing. A 1/2 inch repaired closed tear at the upper rear jacket edge; the dust jacket is otherwise in as new condition (see photographs). "On October 12, 2000, eleven months before the 9/11 attacks, the USS Cole docked in the port of Aden in Yemen for a routine fueling stop. At 1118, on a hot, sunny morning, the 8,400-ton destroyer was rocked by an enormous explosion. The ship's commander, Kirk Lippold, felt the ship violently thrust up and to the right, as everything not bolted down seemed to float in midair. Tiles tumbled from the ceiling, and the ship was plunged into darkness, beginning to sink. In a matter of moments Lippold knew that the Cole had been attacked. What he didn't know was how much the world was changing around him. The bombing of the Cole was Al Qaeda's first direct assault against the United States and expanded their brazen and deadly string of terrorist attacks throughout the Middle East. In this gripping first-person narrative, Lippold reveals the details of this harrowing experience leading his crew of valiant sailors through the attack and its aftermath. Seventeen sailors died in the explosion and thirty-seven were wounded - but thanks to the valor of the crew in the perilous days that followed, the ship was saved. Yet even with al Qaeda's intentions made clear in an unmistakable act of war, the United States government delayed retaliating. Bureaucrats and politicians sought to shift and pin blame as they ignored the danger signaled by the attack, shirking responsibility until the event was ultimately overshadowed by 9/11. Front Burner captures a critical moment in America's battle against al Qaeda, telling a vital story that has, until now - been lost in the fog of the war on terror." - from the inner front jacket flap. "Front Burner is a personal story of loss, and pain - but it is also a story of courage, determination, respect, honor, and integrity that each and every man and woman on the USS Cole demonstrated that day, on September 11, 2001, and indeed, today. This book and the story of the men and women that it recounts is an inspiration." - William J. Perry, nineteenth secretary of defense. "The story of the USS Cole - including why the ship was in Yemen in the first place, the lack of support from Washington that the sailors and the investigators received, how the attack inspired al Qaeda, and the connections to 9/11 - is one that all American need to hear. The professionalism, quiet dignity, and dedication to our country that Commander Lippold and his sailors exhibited is an inspiration to us all, and a reminder of the very best America has to offer." - Ali Soufan, author. "A year before 9/11, a bomb-laden motorboat exploded alongside the USS Cole, killing seventeen Americas in the worst terrorist attack in nearly two decades. It is a story that has remained untold and nearly forgotten for too long. Now, Front Burner reveals how the captain's leadership and the crew's courage saved the Cole to sail another day." - Jim Lovell, commander of the Apollo 13 mission and author.

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. Second Printing (Number Line to 2). Signed and inscribed on the title page ( 'To John, With admiration, David Kessler.' ). Both the book and the dust jacket are in excellent condition. I've rated them Near Fine because a Fine rating feels like a claim of perfection. But here you are pretty close to that. As you can see from the photos, the covers are free of soiling. The edges and corners evidence no wear. The spine is in excellent shape. There is a tiny bit of the typical crinkling at its top and bottom edges. The page edges are perfectly clean. The silver lettering on the spine is very bright and unworn. The book is square and very solidly bound from cover to cover. The pages are nicely tight throughout. The covers are without issue. The pages are also exceptionally clean. I've scrolled through them a number of times without finding any instances of soiling. They are also nicely bright. I'm not finding any creasing. There are no markings. There are no attachments. And with the exception of the author's signed inscription, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. As you can also see from the photos, the dust jacket is very clean. There are no tears. The flaps are in very good condition as well, perfectly clean. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. From the Dust Jacket: 'When David Kessler came to Washington to lead the Food and Drug Administration in 1990, the agency was at a low point, weakened by years of deregulatory fervor and by the corrupt actions of a few. And soon after taking office, the thirty-nine-year-old physician had to deal with the daily drama of murders masquerading as random product tamperings, imports of contaminated body parts from the former Soviet Union, political fights over the contents of food labels, and efforts to speed life-saving therapies to desperate patients. What was not on David Kessler's agenda was tobacco. But soon he confronted a simple question: "Why doesn't the FDA regulate the consumer product that is the nation's number-one killer?" Everyone in Washington offered the same answer--the tobacco industry is too big and too influential. Challenging it would be a fool's errand. Despite the risks, Kessler and a group of unlikely heroes at the FDA began an historic journey inside the mazes of America's most secret and deadliest industry. 'A Question of Intent' tells their story.'. Inscribed by Author(s).
