I will have to look up this book. I loved God Is My Broker by Buckley.

He pulled one of the greatest pranks against the MSM ever. In 1991, while at Forbes FYI, he faxed out a press release that the Russian government was so desparate for cash that they were auctioning off Lenin's body. ABC bit on it and Peter Jennings reported it on the news.

ROTFLMAO!

I wish we could link to a video of that broadcast...What a treasure!
