Strike fast, strike hard?whether it's scoring a homerun or front-page news, Diane K. Shah, former sports columnist, knows how to grab the best story.
In her memoir A Farewell to Arms, Legs, and Jockstraps , follow Diane's escapades, from interviews with a tipsy Mickey Mantle, to sneaking into off-limits Republican galas, dining with Frank Sinatra, flying a plane with Dennis Quaid, and countless other adventures where she wields her tape recorder and a tireless drive for more.
From skirting KGB agents while covering the Cold War Olympics to hunting down the three mechanical sharks starring in Jaws , Diane's experiences are filled with real heart and a tongue-in-cheek attitude. An insightful look into the difficulties of navigating a male-dominated profession, A Farewell to Arms, Legs, and Jockstraps offers rich retellings and behind-the-scenes details of stories of a trail-blazing career and the prejudices facing female sportswriters during the 60s and 70s.
