For thirty-three years Robert Curley worked as a reporter and
photographer for newspapers in Rome, Oneida, and Syracuse, New
York. In this colourful memoir he vividly recounts the many
remarkable events and personal encounters of his long career and
rich family life. Through a series of imaginary dialogues with his
alter ego 'Win', Curley (aka Professor Quirky) examines the
politics, history, and popular culture of the last two decades.
There are opinions galore here, plus prognostications and some
Irish blarney as well. One might assume that a newspaperman in
central New York State would be confined to issues of only regional
interest. But in fact Mr Curley had opportunities to meet and
interview several world-class newsmakers, including Robert Kennedy;
New York Governors W Averell Harriman, Nelson Rockefeller, and Hugh
Carey; New York City Mayor John Lindsey; Henry Kissinger; Mikhail
Gorbachev; and, author Alex Haley. Among the highlights of these
meetings was a handshake and 'photo-op' with Mikhail Gorbachev,
Henry Kissinger predicting in an interview that the Soviet Union
would collapse, and a gift from Alex Haley of an unpublished
chapter from his soon-to-be released biography of Malcolm X Many
more similar episodes of interest fill this work, along with
political commentary and much appreciation for his wife of many
years and family of six children and numerous grandchildren.
