Jim and Tammy Fay Baker and muhammed ali. Thank you for attending our session on this beautiful friday afternoon. Ill have to compete with the outdoors and hopefully well convince you youve made the right choice hanging out with us to talk about media and biography in political history. Between the four of us, we have written at least 17 biographies and it might be more than that. I was losing count because Randy Roberts has written so many. More than half of our total number, i think. So we have a lot of experience in this genre that weve been drawn to and have an affinity for it in some way or another.
