New Yorker
"Alterman deploys biographical material sparingly but well, always to the purpose...." 11/29/1999 Nation
"Alterman is refreshingly candid in his introduction, where he describes his nervousness in first meeting someone he has long idolized and uses that as a setup to tell readers that the ensuing book will contain what he wanted to say to the man he (thankfully) refrains from calling the Boss." 12/13/1999
