Loading... A Few Seconds of Panic: A 5-Foot-8, 170-Pound, 43-Year-Old Sportswriter…A Few Seconds of Panic goes on the wishlist! I read the Plimpton books many years ago and enjoyed them tremendously.

I have finished the first slog of the year, A few seconds of panic, and I've optimistically have moved on to two books: The Boys on the Bus, a funny, fascinating book about the press pool that followed the McGovern campaign in '72.

Speaking of Beautiful Struggles, have jumped back into A Few Seconds of Panic. We have reached a workable solution, the book and I. I'm getting absorbed. I do hate that, and that's why I switched books after two chapters of A Few Seconds of Panic. I read Alan's War The Memories of G.I.
