There is a particularly hilarious story he tells of going into his ex-girlfriend's apartment (a wheelchair stalker), she comes home, he hides his wheelchair and himself under the bed and is forced to listen to her have sex on the bed above him. You got to love a guy that rats himself out like that. John Hockenberry wrote a really wonderful autobiography a few years back that I highly recommend.

When I was editing at Army Times, the whole newsroom was summoned to the Gannett Death Star in Maclean, Va., for an Ethiks (TM) seminar. It amounted to a briefing on how to avoid lawsuits. Nobody mentioned the AT&T advertisements running right next to the pictures of dead American service men and women. "So you've heard you'll be relocating? Call AT&T!" No joke. Check the back issues.
