In his six previous books, William O'Shaughnessy, one of the
nation's best known and most beloved community broadcasters, has
told the tales of the power brokers and visionaries of politics,
government, business and industry, the arts, fine living-world
famous figures like Joe DiMaggio, Fred Astaire, Nelson Rockefeller,
the Bushes, Kennedys, and so many others. He elevated each
encounter with his wisdom, wit, insight ... and compassion, and
what emerged through words that carried the weight of authority as
they danced with the delight of Nijinsky was nothing less than
transformative for both subject and reader. In O'Shaughnessy, we
have our modern day Plutarch, whose prose has run across the
decades like a power strip illuminating the lives of the nation's
most incandescent leaders from every arena. Henry Kissinger, Rush
Limbaugh, Mario Cuomo, Jacob K. Javits, Daniel Patrick Moynihan,
John V. Lindsay, Dan Rather, President Richard Nixon, President
Donald J. Trump, Jimmy Breslin, Pope Francis-his list of on-air
guests and from-the-notebook subjects is the broadcasting world's
premier who's who list. A "vivid man about town" known for his
blazers, Belgian loafers, and the Yankees World Series ring given
to him in appreciation by George M. Steinbrenner, O'Shaughnessy
shared the gift of vividness not only with the great and powerful
but also with the local characters who made their mark "about
town," the "Townies" of Westchester, a/k/a the "Golden Apple," and
beyond. Folks who may have been touched by fame, they were devoutly
invested in the fortunes of their home heath, and O'Shaughnessy
amplified their passions, priorities, quests, hurdles, and triumphs
as a friend and champion who wielded the most respected and
influential "megaphone" in the Eastern Establishment ... and far
beyond. He shared the counsel and companionship of political
influencers, and leading lights from the media, the arts, the
sporting world, and the constellation of fine living ... who all
were blessed with the heart and soul of a Townie. The Townies
derives its power to inform and captivate from the radiance of
these good people, their good will, and their good deeds, which
shine brighter than the lights of Broadway on a Saturday night.
Enjoy!
