"Do you sign your tax returns without reading them?
Do you leave all the investment decisions up to your husband?
Do you ever look at your bank and brokerage statements?
Do you know who owns your insurance policies?
Have you even met "your husband's" financial advisors?"

If you answered "yes" to the first three questions and "no" to the last two, you leave the business side of your marriage up to your husband. Should your prince ever fall off his horse-by death, disability, or divorce-you and your children will be left in a precarious position.

Unfortunately, the odds are against you. Most husbands die before their wives and more than 50 percent of marriages end in divorce. Yet many women don't get involved in their family's financial planning because their husbands take care of it, they think it's too complicated for them to understand, or they just don't want to bother.

This book explains why you "should" "bother," what you need to know, and how to get involved. Ms. Cohan guides you through the subjects of cash management, insurance, taxes, investing, and retirement and estate planning using simple and entertaining principles. The effort will return significant dividends-for yourself, your marriage, and your children.

In THE WORLD WAS OUR STAGE, producer/director Doug Wilson recounts his incredible fifty-year journey with ABC Sports and its beloved sports anthology program ABC's WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS. His natural story telling style and entertaining anecdotes capture not only the human drama of athletic competition--the hallmark of ABC's coverage--but also the unforgettable golden era of sports television. Wilson's perspectives on celebrated athletes such as Muhammad Ali, Evel Knievel, Peggy Fleming, Arthur Ashe, and Scott Hamilton, among many others, are both humorous and poignant--all revealed against a background of historical events of the last half of the twentieth century. THE WORLD WAS OUR STAGE reflects the spirit of the sporting world and the wonders of modern technology as they merged on television and set the standard for sports programming in the twenty-first century.
