A long time in coming, writer James Tehrani's first book is 'Alfalfa — The Rascal You Knew, the Character You Never Knew.' And a fine book it is, full of surprises and featuring a real life murder.

James Tehrani may know more about Carl Switzer/Alfalfa than anyone on the planet and the proof peppers the pages of his entertaining biography.

Bill Kurtis was there for the Chicago 7, Charles Manson, Tokyo Rose, Richard Speck, Vietnam, "Anchorman," "Wait, Wait..." and so much more. A witness to history and an honest, stylish chronicler of his own story in "Whirlwind."
chicagotribune.com
It’s understandable if you know Bill Kurtis only as an anchorman. Read his new autobiography for more, in bookstores in September.
