Kuralt has been doing it longer and better than most. His vignettes of Americana are invariably humorous, succinct, historically accurate, and often poetic. In this second collection of TV episodes to appear in print, the blend of narration and script enables the reader to easily visualize the scenes. It is storytelling at its best. For Dotson, this is a first effort at expanding his TV tales into book form. His stories tend to focus more on the human spirit as exemplified by the courage, perseverance, sacrifices, and kindnesses of the common person to reach uncommon goals. His work is more sober but not lacking in amusement. Both are good choices for public libraries and those desiring a good dose of what's right with America. Sondra Brunhumer, Western Michigan Univ.
