If you thought that 2019 was a bad year, then wait until you get a load of 2020. We started the year with out of control bushfires in Australia, threats of World War III between the U.S.A. and Iran and then came the big one, the Pandemic. Nobody could have foreseen a small "flu" virus which started in China late in 2019 becoming the dominating force in 2020 and changing our lives forever. If you like reading factual information on a day-by-day basis, a journey through 2020 written with my own particular brand of sarcastic humour, then this is the book for you. It's is my account of what ...

Before Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, and Doonesbury, there was Art Buchwald. For more than fifty years, from 1949 to 2006, Art Buchwald’s Pulitzer Prize-winning column of political satire and biting wit made him one of the most widely read American humorists and a popular player in the Washington world of Ethel and Ted Kennedy, Ben Bradlee, and Katharine Graham. Dean Acheson, former U.S. Secretary of State, called Buchwald the “greatest satirist in the English language since Pope and Swift.”

FROM THE FOREWORD BY MILLIE STEVENTON My Uncle Stan was a grumpy man when he began to write to me from Spain and he can’t be said to have mellowed much with age. This book contains only his letters to me, as his old-school habit of always referring to my missives removes the need to include my supportive, and sometimes censorious, replies which possess little of the descriptive power and mostly unintentional humour of his own copious correspondence. In a way I suppose that in the last few years I have been his only constant and empathic contact with the rest of humanity and this first ...
