Review
Trustin Howard, more than just a comedy writer, he’s written this wonderful book….it’s all here in this terrific page-turner. — Regis Philbin, TV personality
This book is an exercise in nostalgia and an interesting sidebar in the history of journalism. If there is a message for today’s journalists, journalism teachers, and students, it is that there are people other than politicians who are worth covering. ―
Journalism & Mass Communication QuarterlyTHIS 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! ―
