The Juicy Parts: Things Your History Teacher Never Told You About the 20th Century's Most Famous People Book

Conditioned by TV talk shows and tabloid magazines, we've come to expect dirt, the full dirt and nothing but the dirt in our profiles of the rich and famous. Author Jack Mingo obliges in this aptly named look at personalities as diverse as Harpo Marx (read about his first near-sex experience) and Lee Harvey Oswald (he had a plan to kill Richard Nixon).
