As a friend and Notre Dame classmate of Pat Collins, I've been lucky to observe the way Pat's reporting career has progressed within a profession that is itself different from past years. The book has merit as a reflection on Washington, DC as a town apart from the politics, as a reflection on the mean and sometimes wonderful things that occur as human beings interact with each other as mixed-up murderers, clever policemen, and witnesses, and as a reflection on the way the matter of reporting news in all media has become unlike other eras. Pat bridges those eras with his mind alert and with an appreciation for what's been left by, for example, a recently deceased mutual friend, Robert Sam Anson. The subjects are serious but Pat's writing style is clever and smooth, nothing ponderous or self-important in it. Enjoy!
