A Life on the Road

A Life on the Road by Kuralt, Charles. cassette edition. ISBN: 9780671726263.

For more than 30 years Charles Kuralt, the host of CBS News Sunday Morning, has traveled the worlds byways. In this warm, deeply affecting memoir, Kuralt retraces the steps of a journey that began when he was a young CBS news reporter frantically trying to cover international events, a journey that took him to South America, Vietnam, and the Okefenokee Swamp. From an Arizona cowboy who confessed to wearing pantyhose under his chaps and a Moscow dentist who tearfully thanked former American POWs for saving his life in a German prison camp, to memorable meetings with Marlon Brando and Nikita Khrushchev -- here is a story of triumphs and tragedies, swimming pigs and cattle roundups, and one mans lifelong love of the road and the people hes met along the way.
