About this title

Synopsis

In 1947 A.J. Liebling had the great good fortune to make the acquaintance of the Honest Rainmaker, Colonel John R. Stingo. Stingo-the salt, pepper, and ketchup of the earth-was as much a journalist as he was a personality who graced the pages of newspapers for over sixty years. After the fortuitous meeting, Mr. Liebling set out to record the redoubtable individual's colorful memoirs, and the end result is a rare delight.

About the Author
