Through a combination of amiable anecdotes, sharp-eyed historical
reporting, and intense tangled memories of family life, this
autobiography captures the legendary personality of television host
Larry Zolf. Zolf could not be cajoled or cozened, and as this
account demonstrates, he had a healthy distrust of those who didn't
drink, laugh, or lust. He regretted little and only ever wanted to
keep on talking, and the sound of his voice runs through this book,
telling a simple tale of great depth and subtlety. Revealing the
phenom often known as "the Schnozz" to be the most personal of
journalists and wittiest of astute observers, this history explores
the "dialectical dancer" who played backroom crony to Robert
Kennedy and taught Pierre Elliott Trudeau to be a stand-up
comedian. Additional yarns include how Zolf befriended a KKK
sheriff in Mississippi, the time he was beaten about the head with
a cane by a one-legged cabinet minister, and how the memorable
character sometimes wore a false nose and glasses to press
conferences, only so he could take them off and declare, "Here is
the nose who knows "
