Much has been written about Hollywood personalities such as Bob Hope, Cary Grant and Johnny Carson, but here is an even deeper look at these icons. This is not tabloid stuff, but a personal intimate look at the celebrities. * Mort's adventures in New York, growing up, and getting into trouble, during the depression, his three friends who shaped each other's lives in amazing ways, training in the Army Air Force Cadets and how fate can play such an important role in all our futures is in this book. * This is a personal glimpse of one who was in service during World War II and what it was like from a navigator-bombardier-pilot's point of view. * The behind-the-scenes stories and history of radio and television, from its infancy, is told by someone who was actually there, and knew the people involved. His tales are both dramatic and humorous and document history in the making, up to today's modern military and civilian technology. The inside story about the RCA Corporation is here. Fascinating stuff

Dough

A Memoir

By: Mort Zachter

Mort Zachter’s childhood revolved around a small shop on Manhattan’s Lower East Side known in the neighborhood as “the day-old bread store.” It was a bakery where nothing was baked, owned by his two eccentric uncles who referred to their goods as “the merchandise.” Zachter grew up sleeping in the dinette of a leaking Brooklyn tenement. He lived a classic immigrant story—one of a close-knit, working-class family struggling to make it in America. Only they were rich. In Dough, Zachter chronicles the life-altering discovery made at age thirty-six that he was heir to several million dollars his bachelor uncles had secretly amassed in stocks and bonds. Although initially elated, Zachter battled bitter memories of the long hours his mother worked at the bakery for no pay. And how could his own parents have kept the secret from him while he was a young married man, working his way through night school? As he cleans out his uncles’ apartment, Zachter discovers clues about their personal lives that raise more questions than they answer. He also finds cake boxes packed with rolls of two-dollar bills and mattresses stuffed with coins. In prose that is often funny and at times elegiac, Zachter struggles with the legacy of his enigmatic family and the implications of his new-found wealth. Breaking with his family’s workaholic heritage, Zachter abandons his pragmatic accounting career to pursue his lifelong dream of being a writer. And though he may not understand his family, in the end he realizes that forgiveness and acceptance matter most.
