As a Westchester neighbor and old friend... I am a great admirer of Bill O'Shaughnessy's pithy editorials. Nelson A. Rockefeller A lot has been written and spoken about Rockefeller... all the great commentators rushed to eulogize him. But O'Shaughnessy's tribute was the most accurate and thoughtful. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, U.S. Senator The "Rockefeller years" were so eloquent and personal. Only someone who really knew Nelson as O'Shaughnessy did, from his perch at Nelson's favorite radio station, could have said it so well. Henry Kissinger [O'Shaughnessy's] commentaries represent the skillful narration of the human drama of our time. Richard M. Nixon Anything Bill O'Shaughnessy touches or writes turns to gold. His book is something I'm going to want to buy... and I'm sure every New Yorker will want to read it too. Governor George E. Pataki Bill's broadcasts about Mario Cuomo were some of the most exquisite pieces of political writing I've seen or heard. Former Mayor of New York John V. Lindsay It only labors the obvious to observe that no one comes within miles of O'Shaughnessy in wordsmithing. His ability to tug at the heart with words is sui generis. Former New York Governor Malcolm Wilson

I applaud Bill O'Shaughnessy's intelligent editorials concerning broadcasters and their reluctance to speak up about Free Speech. So many remain silent, and it is alarming. His is a brave stance. Howard Stern In this brilliant collection, Bill O'Shaughnessy gives us the gift of times we've never known... when giants walked the land in the heart of the Eastern Establishment. Jimmy Breslin, Jr. My favorite ingredient in O'Shaughnessy's broadcasts is the zesty seasoning of meaningful vignettes about real people in actual, relevant situations. He beautifully sustains his celebrated stature as a commentator of insight, wit, charm, and uncompromising honesty, as well as overwhelming persuasion. Congresswoman Nita Lowey Future generations will thank Bill O'Shaughnessy for his spirited and eloquent defense of Walter Cronkite and Frank Stanton... and for rallying the broadcasting industry to our cause. William S. Paley, CBS founder I respect Bill O'Shaughnessy's courage and cherish his friendship. Walter Anderson, editor, Parade Gutsy! He's like the most raucous voice on Hyde Park Square... and he's my neighbor. Ossie Davis

All the dazzling and appealing characters of the Golden Apple come alive in these stirring commentaries from Westchester, the very heart of the Eastern Establishment. Kenneth Cole, fashion designer Bill O'Shaughnessy is the greatest speaker in the Outback. I mean Westchester... not Australia! Lowell Thomas O'Shaughnessy broadcasts in an informal, conversational style that brings his clear, cogent points directly to his listeners. Ogden Rogers Reid, president, Council of American Ambassadors WVOX's editorial about the attempted assassination of His Holiness was deeply touching and reflective of O'Shaughnessy's characteristic sensitivity. Sirio Maccioni, Le Cirque 2000 ... The national prototype of the suburban voice. Broadcast Management College Textbook Bill O'Shaughnessy puts one face to the world when they can see him, but he hides his special spirituality and quality until he puts pen to paper and articulates his thoughts and hopes to change the world from behind his microphone. This charming, somewhat unbelievable Irishman is a dying breed. Donald V. West, editor-at-large, Cahners Magazines

... the outstanding editorials in the United States and Canada. The Radio-Television News Directors Association O'Shaughnessy is a damn national resource. Scott Shannon, D.J. His editorials, like fine wine, become better with time. Joseph Reilly, president, New York State Broadcasters Association [His] taste remains impeccable... with wit and depth and sense of humor. A.M. Rosenthal, New York Times
