This Just In: What I Couldn't Tell You On TV, by Bob Schieffer (HC, 1993, $3)
Peace, War and Politics: An Eyewitness Account, by Jack Anderson (HC, 1999, $3)
Anderson's father wanted him to be a farmer. Says Anderson, "I lasted an inglorious two weeks- long enough for me to conclude, at twelve years of age, that my future was at the typewriter." Four decades later, even after his face had been on the cover of Time, and he had won the Pulitzer Prize, Anderson's father was still upset his son was a writer. Other people, though, respected and even feared him, as he used his newspaper columns to expose "fraud, waste, and abuse".
