    BIG RUSS & ME: FATHER AND SON: LESSONS OF LIFE

    Book ID/图书代码: 06540004B05489

    English Summary/英文概要: "The older I get, the smarter my father seems to get. Hardly a day goes by when I don’t remember something that Big Russ taught me."
    Over the last two decades, Tim Russert has become one of the most trusted and admired figures in American television journalism. Throughout his career he has spent time with presidents and popes, world leaders and newsmakers, celebrities and sports heroes, but one person stands out from the rest in terms of his strength of character, modest grace, and simple decency—Russert’s dad, Big Russ.
    In this warm, engaging memoir, Russert casts a fond look back to the 1950s Buffalo neighborhood of his youth. In the close-knit Irish-Catholic community where he grew up, doors were left unlocked at night; backyard ponds became makeshift ice hockey rinks in winter; and streets were commandeered as touch football fields in the fall. And he recalls the extraordinary example of his father, a WWII veteran who worked two jobs without complaint for thirty years and taught his children to appreciate the values of self-discipline, of respect, of loyalty to friends.
    Big Russ and Me, written in Russert’s easygoing, straight-talking style, offers an irresistible collection of personal memories. Russert recalls the dedicated teachers who stimulated his imagination and intellect, sparking a lifelong passion for politics and journalism, and inspired a career that took him from editor of his elementary school newspaper to moderator of Meet the Press.
    It has been an eventful and deeply satisfying journey, but no matter where his career has taken him, Russert’s fundamental values still spring from that small house on Woodside Avenue and the special bond he shares with his father—a bond he enjoys now with his own son. As Tim Russert celebrates the indelible connection between fathers and sons, readers everywhere will laugh, cry, and identify with the lessons of life taught by the indomitable Big Russ.

    Chinese Summary/中文概要: 作者是美国著名的电视记者,20年来,他采访过不少总统和教皇,世界领袖和媒体大王,名人和运动员,但有一个人始终在他心中占有更高位置,那就是他的父亲,大拉斯。作者在本书中回忆了他青少年时期与父亲在一起的日子。那是50年代的布法罗爱尔兰天主教社区,人们之间的关系非常紧密,很少有外人进入,差不多可以夜不闭户。后院的池塘到冬天就成为冰球场,在秋天则把街道当作足球场。他的父亲是第二次世界大战的老兵,30年中一直无怨无悔地打两份工,以培养孩子。作者从他那儿领受了对朋友要自律,尊重和忠诚的教诲。作者后来走出了小镇,事业上也取得成功,但他的基本价值观仍然可追溯到小镇和父亲。
