The inside story from the only writer allowed on the set about the great film comedy, featuring Dustin Hoffman and Sydney Pollack.

For policy wonks and divinity students and just plain people who wanted to learn how to make a point, I taught not only how to write a speech but how to deliver it yourself or how to make it fit comfortably into the style and persona of the speaker for whom you are writing. In addition the class offered a comprehensive history of great American speeches to serve as models for my students. When I left Boston, I taught the same skills to business professionals in New York.What qualified me to do this? A lifetime of political ghosting.
