Barbara Walters and 1970's Senator Ed Brooke?
Media mogul Babara Walters is promoting her memoir, "Audition" is which it is rumored she exposes a 1970's love affair with former African American senator Ed Brooke. Why do people feel the need to divulge affairs they have had in the past to the world? LOL, I wonder what those interview sessions were like. One could only imagine. Ba, wa, wa
Excerpt from The Washington Post:
"The two were both rising stars: The Boston-born Walters, then in her 40s and separated from her second husband, was making history as "Today" co-host and then anchor of ABC News; the D.C.-born Brooke, a decade older and estranged from first wife Remigia, had in 1966 become the first African American popularly elected to the Senate."

You know Barbara Walters knew that if she told the public that she got her swirl on with a married brotha this book would fly off the shelves like crazy!
Of all the things she's done in her lifetime, the primary thing that she's out shouting about her book is that she had an affair with a brotha. Anything for a dollar.
Barbara Walter's life was influenced greatly by her older sister and she's written a beautiful memoir about her life. I read another memoir of a life influence by a sibling that I recommend highly - I actually liked it even more. The memoir is ""My Stroke of Insight"" by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. Dr Taylor became a Harvard brain scientist to find the cause and cure for schizophrenia because her older brother was a sufferer. Then, crazy as life can be, Dr. Taylor had a stroke at age 37. What was amazing was that her left brain was shut down by the stroke - where language and thinking occur - but her right brain was fully functioning. She experienced bliss and nirvana and the way she writes about it (or talks about it in her now famous TED talk) is incredible.
What I took away from Dr. Taylor's book above all, and why I recommend it so highly, is that you don't have to have a stroke or take drugs to find the deep inner peace that she talks about. Her book explains how. ""I want what she's having"", and thanks to this wonderful book, I can!
