I take your point that some of Moehringer's piece was cheesy. I still thought the entire thing was salutatory for anyone thinking of being a writer, a ghost writer, or even a journalist. He's been all three, and is highly regarded, he's what we ordinary people would call both high achieving and successful. Yet, his failures, humiliations, insecurities, and vanities are shared, and this was the carefully considered, prettied-up version. Being a writer, who would roll those dice, hey?

I thought this warranted being further up in your list.

Traffic is a good book title, but there it ends. Trite review, trite book. A history with genuine understanding and insights has yet to be written.
