Television Tightrope: How I Escaped Hitler, Survived CBS and Fathered Viacom
by Ralph Baruch with Lee Roderick ISBN 978-0-9673432-2-4 $47.31 hardback 416 pages If you get more than a handful of television channels, thank Ralph Baruch. Facing great odds, Baruch led the pivotal battles against broadcasters, regulators, and legislators that pried Washington's fingers from the neck of cable television and set it soaring. Tightrope is also an intimate memoir. Teenaged Ralph led the escape from the Nazis of his family over the Pyrenees Mountains to Spain and then freedom. After tragically losing his first wife he fell in love with a remarkable woman who would anchor Ralph through all the turbulence ahead. He had survived Hitler, CBS, feckless government bureaucrats, and greedy outsiders who coveted Viacom. However, he failed to see, until too late, some insiders bent on buying and carving up his company. Ralph, however, had not yet played his last card. In the wings was Boston businessman Sumner Redstone. In a titanic takeover struggle, he wrested Viacom from the cabal of insiders. It remained to be seen if Redstone would also carve up and sell off Viacom—as analysts predicted—or continue to build the global enterprise envisioned by Ralph Baruch. |
Courage: Orrin Hatch—Leading the Fight for Constitutional Rights
by Lee Roderick ISBN 978-0-9673432-4-2 $10.00 hardback 608 pages Issue-oriented and revealing, this biography of the senior U. S. senator from Utah, Orrin Hatch, shines a light on the recent years of the Senate’s leading consensus builder for conservative ways to solve national problems. From his opposition to President Obama's health care bill to his repeated sponsorship of constitutional amendments to balance the federal budget, Hatch seldom leaves questions on where he stands. The political life of one of the nation’s most visible and influential senators is explored, from his toe-to-toe confrontations with both Democrats and his own Republican colleagues on issues from tax cuts and labor-law reform to terrorism and the war in Afghanistan. Engrossing and informative, with more than 100 pages of photos, this is a detailed, honest look at one of the leading conservative voices in America today attempting to renew the country for tomorrow. |
