segment is a many-faceted individual:
shrewd, graceful, warm,
cuttingly sarcastic. Her latest
book, Talking Woman', is in her
own words "as much about me...as
the people I had spent my life
talking to."
This unique collection of 80
essays covers an extremely wide
range of interests from Judy
Garland to the CIA. As a master in
the field of journalism excellence,
Alexander is limitless in her
subject matter. She has used her
career as a "license to lparn" and
the purpose of her book was
perhaps to reassure us all that it
r4a'ly happened just this way.
The essay on Judy Garland was
published in Life magazine in 1961.
Shortly thereafter, Alexander
became Life's first woman staff
writer.
IN THIS particular essay and
others on human tragedy,
Alexander leaves no stone unturned,
no question unanswered.
Yet, her style of social and Dolitical
commentary smoothes the rough
edges and Alexander can be as
