Lewis Grizzard's second book is a collection of his columns from the late 1970s. Some of them are funny, yes, but some of them are poignant, and the hell if an entire section - #7: Violence - Five Victims - isn't absolutely prescient. How little some things have changed in the last 40 years!

There is a smattering of political chat about the 1980 presidential election, which is interesting from a historical perspective. It's hard not to feel a little sorry for President Carter. ( )
