I was intent on the news, not entertainment gossip, so got ready to move on, when a chance bit got through to me - What is the hardest thing about living with his illness?, she was asked. I stayed a minute or two more, and found out that she lives with a husband stricken with MS. The hardest thing is when he acts as though he feels somehow diminished, because I know that isn't true...
I'm paraphrasing. I didn't have the presence of mind to take notes, or hit a recorder button. It was a joint interview, her with her husband, Richard M. Cohen.
I went looking for the book they said he'd written, and found it just came out in trade paperback, ISBN 0060014105, list price $13.95. At Alibris.com, for a random example of street price, it sells new for $10.46.
If the book is as engaging as its author, it would be worth a read.
