Much ado about nothing
This book satisifies its intended goal; the author gets to brag on himself constantly. From the cover blurb that says "Watch Robert Redford's Quiz Show and then read this book for the true story" to the introduction where the author tells you just how great it was that he uncovered this injustice that was "woven into the fabric of American life",...

This review is from: Prime Time and Misdemeanors: Investigating the 1950s TV Quiz Scandal (Paperback)
This book satisifies its intended goal; the author gets to brag on himself constantly. From the cover blurb that says "Watch Robert Redford's Quiz Show and then read this book for the true story" to the introduction where the author tells you just how great it was that he uncovered this injustice that was "woven into the fabric of American life", Stone shows exactly what can happen when government in general and one district attorney in specific, is allowed to run unchecked. By his own admission, nothing illegal was done through this "scandal". However, this book details how quiz shows were disemboweled because the government and Stone saw television as a big evil that needed to be taught a lesson. You can't read this book without developing a distrust for the powers that be.
