Book Reviews of Heartland

Book Review: Heartland
Summary: 4 Stars

It seems that "heartland" is written more like a jazz
composition, than an autobiography. mort knew lots of famous and powerful
people, mentioning some of them, particularly Hugh ("call me
hef") Heffner. for instance, the fact that jack Webb ("dragnet" --
badge 714 -- incidentally, the number of home runs hit by babe Ruth)
usually, only left his house to go to the studio, and had a really
state-of-the-art sound system for back then. Mort had a wonderful
television show around the late sixties - early seventies on
Metromedia. really enjoyed watching him with the chalk board
expounding on the political spectrum, and he always kept coming
back to the "right-wing social democrats"! he really did spend too
much time on the Kennedy assassination, since we'll never know if
Oswald and ruby were lone kooks or not. this obsession became tiresome
after awhile, and certainly hurt his ratings.
from Wikipedia: "Sahl, whose father was an FBI Administrator,
was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The family soon moved to Los
Angeles, California. Sahl joined the ROTC unit at Belmont High
School (Los Angeles, California) and also was on the staff of
the school's newspaper. After high school, Sahl enlisted in the
United States Air Force and was stationed in Alaska. In 1950, he
graduated from University of Southern California with majors in traffic
engineering and city management [how surprisingly boring!]. He
then began performing standup comedy at the hungry i nightclub in
San Francisco".
from me again: i remember a scene from a rat pack movie, where mort sahl had only one line before being blown away! also, liked mort in the fox hole with bobby Darin imparting the lowdown in some war
movie. i could only give "heartland" 4 stars just because of the
lack of information . seems that mort prefers to be some sort
of mysterious phantom -- a chimera.
lastly, correction for Wikipedia:
mort sahl on werner von braun's book: "i aim for the moon".
mort: "but he missed and hit London".
