I bought 'The Mayor of Castro Street' right after Unabridged books stocked it.
I attended the world premier of 'The Times of Harvey Milk' the documentary based on the book.
It looks like Sean Penn's going to get me in the theater again.
For those of you not acquainted with Milk and his story I may have insist that you see this movie.
I can vouch for the book, having read it 4 or five times. In the early days of Reagan it was great to read a book that made me want to march in the streets. Harvey showed me that fear is a problem only if you let it influence how you lead your life. I learned to make fear somebody else's problem. Or nobody's; It didn't matter as long as it was not stopping me.
Seems like the type book Howard Dean or Barack Obama might have taken some notes from.
This is a season of hope.
