Synopsis With plainspoken charm and the necessary analytical eye, journalist Bob Schieffer divulges his opinions with the hand of authority and the wit of a thoughtful writer. Compiled for the first time in essay form are his best sign-off commentaries (168 in all) from Face the Nation on CBS. For the past 14 years, he has vacillated from exuding levity and inspiring with deeply insightful personal stories to pointing investigations towards conspiring politicians. New anecdotes and comments written by the author are sprinkled throughout to lend a modern take on the way things were.
