Hall of Famer
I'm reading (OK listening to) a biography of James A Baker III, which I never in a million years thought I'd ever find myself reading/listening to, but his life is super fascinating. His family was instrumental in building Houston, knew George Bush I personally from a long time back, lost his beloved wife to breast cancer. I'm up to the part where Baker collects enough pledged delegates for Ford to beat Reagan in a close primary in 1976. Yet Baker didn't even get into politics until age 45. Just a fascinating listen so far. The Man who Ran Washington.
Also reading on Kindle 1947: Where Now Begins. So much of the late 20th century (and a bit bleeding into the early 21st century) seems to have been defined/shaped in this pivotal year.
