A collection of Sydney Harris's syndicated newspaper column "Strictly Personal," from the Chicago Daily News & Chicago Sun-Times, chosen from 30 years of writing. Columns are short and range from advice to politics. The back cover quotes Studs Terkel in the Chicago Sun-Times, saying, "Fortunately for our sense of balance, Sydney J. Harris is around, reminding us of human possibilities not yet tapped . . . Pick up this book. It's good for out-loud reading, and therapeutic at the same time." Harris went to high school with Saul Bellow, possibly at Tuley High School, where Saul Bellow is documented as having graduated from; the building is now Tuley Middle School, and the high school was moved to Clemente.
