Studs Terkel: 1912-2008

Many years ago I read the Terkel book, "Race: What Blacks and Whites Think and Feel About the American Obsession" (1992. ISBN 978-1565840003). Terkel had a way of taking you into people's lives to experience their everyday thoughts and beliefs, some pretty, some not so. But with each of his subjects you could not help but come away with a profound respect for what there is to be learned from mining honest feelings.
