I remember Kent from the days he was known as the *scud stud*! ;-)

I like bios like this, thanks! Great meetup today!

I really enjoyed reading this book. Of course, Arthur's brother, Peter, was a fixture on tv here in Toronto for some time and I do remember watching Arthur's coverage of the Gulf War. So reading about his background and earlier journalistic adventures was interesting, too, but I actually found the latter half of the book - the part detailing his wrongful dismissal by NBC and especially, the depositions and all the background legwork that went into his ultimate success in this David and Goliath story - to be much more fascinating. Kent is one of a sadly dying breed of journalists of integrity. It was great to see him persevere and come out on top.
