As a young reporter starting out at WCBS-TV IN 1979, I only knew of Marvin Scott's reputation as a tough competitor and a great storyteller. But I would come to truly know him as a gentleman...a journalist who always cared about getting it right, but not at the expense of his humanity or anyone else's. As I see it, Marvin is a treasure and his book a treasure trove of fascinating insights into some of the most intriguing people and events of our lifetime. -- Meredith Vieira

Marvin Scott has seen it all. He's a born storyteller who gives a fresh perspective on life's everyday experiences that have shaped us all. Dan Rather (he wrote the foreword) probably best describes him best. 'The dictionary describes intrepid as being of resolute fearlessness, fortitude, and endurance. That is exactly how to describe Marvin Scott's journey as a lifelong reporter-and to describe the man himself. It fits Marvin like a bespoke suit.' -- New York Lifestyles
