About this title

Synopsis

For over forty years Ralph McGill wrote and spoke about politics, religion, economics, the military, poetry, Southern history, bees, art, Greece, the press, education, blacks, tenant farming, Andrew Jackson, poker, sports, cooking, India, the 4-H Club, Hitler, television, corn, foreign affairs, human rights, Carson McCullers, music, and the changing seasons in Georgia. This volume includes McGill's own sometimes fiery, always poetic impressions of persons whom he considered to be of some importance for others to know about. McGill introduces us to (or reminds us of) a sweeping variety of persons - poets and philosophers, politicians and demagogues, sportsmen and economists.
