THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY INTERESTING LOOK at two remarkable icons of the 30's & 40's. Winchell and Runyon were both journalists that had fans Nationwide, and these two men helped make Broadway in New York the legendary place it became. Trustin Howard found a connection between them that had never been previously explored. Trustin tells the story in the same staccato-style that Winchell used for his radio program...the twenty-nine chapters in this 147 page volume simply fly-by so swiftly that you can flow through the book in an evening or two. And you'll enjoy every minute of the read ! Trustin's writing captures everyone mentioned with the flair & colour that made them famous. In this wonderful volume, Trustin Howard has truly done justice to both his subjects and their professions, and, brought-to-life & recreated the era in which they lived and worked perfectly. "Winchell and Runyon: The True Untold Story" should be made into a play, or, a movie...it's that good!
