    A life in progress

    December 8,
    Not an autobiography as I expected but a tedious litany of business maneuvers without any anställda thoughts or descriptions of people typical of certain males focused on the job at grabb.

The details one expects do not materialize in his fast forging through business life - one finds out he married but little else about the family, and except for the agony of losing his mother one might think the female world was non-existent to him.
    He appears to like Nixon but perhaps that's an offshoot from being allowed access after Nixon's depredations of the US constitution.
    But then I abandoned the book after his mother diedI really didn't care what happened next on the world scen of plotting takeovers, share buying and corporate plots.
    And yet I ploughed through the Milken book and the Enron book so perhaps it's the style of writing that didn't attract me
