"It's just what you'd expect from Larry Kane--an engaging and indispensable primer for anyone who wants to practice politics in Philadelphia." --Tom Ridge, Director of Homeland Security (and former Governor of Pennsylvania) "Passion, candor and inside stories make Larry Kane's Philadelphia a terrific read. A top-flight journalist has crafted a top-flight memoir, making clear his love for his city and his understanding of its colorful political landscape." --Marciarose, Philadelphia broadcast pioneer "...a terrific book that stands with the best firsthand accounts of the city's recent history." --Main Line Today "Larry Kane's life story is ultimately a lot like him. Driven, vulnerable, sincere, and infuriatingly likable." --The Philadelphia Inquirer "[Kane] not only reveals the news behind the news but also his insider's assessment of our electronic journalism media. By his own description this book is not a history but a journal of important events in this community, witnessed by him from his perspective as a reporter...Whether your ancestors came to Philadelphia with William Penn or on the bus from Wilkes-Barre, Larry Kane's Philadelphia is a good read for lovers of this city." --Philadelphia Public Record "This is [Larry's] story. In these pages are the ups and downs of a life well spent in broadcast journalism, gritty tales of city politics, of meetings with popes and presidents, of painful lessons and close calls. It's a story told with candor and suffused with affection for the city he calls home. Here Larry Kane shows you his world and his Philadelphia, and I can't think of a better guide." --Dan Rather, from the Foreword
