Title: Adios, Dan!
Product review: I finished this book and fired off an email to Dan Rather, entitled "Adios, Dan." It read to me like Goldberg was angry; but who wouldn't be? He is known to be a liberal, had to have been a team player, and still was let go from the "good ol' boys' club." My disappointment was that it read a little like the check-out stand tabloids. Content was titilating in the table of contents and failed to deliver much substance in the actual chapter.I experienced this same disappointment with Leslie Stahl's autobiography in that it seemed to neutralize content that could have been gossip-column juicy and expository.I imagine with fingers to point and names to name, books like this have to walk a fine line between commentary and libel.It made me intensely dislike a grudge-holding Dan Rather, who has lost the courage and passion of intensely personal reporting, qualities that made him an urban legend during his coverage of the Nixon White House.
