In these alternatingly hilarious and earnest memoirs, Richard Grayson recounts moments on the campaign trail and the political barricades.
There are reports from the police riot of the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago; scenes from the New York headquarters of the October 1969 Moratorium; accounts of the first Earth Day and a now-historic 1970 "Women's Lib" action in New York.
Grayson also reports on: running for the Davie, Fla., Town Council on a platform of giving horses the right to vote; creating a political scandal involving Florida lawmakers in "Legislators in Love," and the wacky press coverage of Grayson's joke candidacy for President in 1984, when he famously picked as his running mate the actress Jane Wyman, because of "her experience in dumping Ronald Reagan."
