Nickell's Two Cents' Worth David Nickell

In this collection of acerbic and provocative columns, award-winning journalist David Nickell tackles the ills and foibles of everyday life and politics. With a deft hand, he uncovers racism in the news media and the complicity of police in brutality cases. He shows the hollowness of arguments ranging from opposition to the Confederate flag to dolphins in captivity. He castigates lawyers and banks and relates the shameful and bloody history of Labor Day. Rescued from the archives of an extinct and little-known newspaper, these gems are as fresh and relevant as today's headlines. His is a voice that demands to be heard, appreciated, and savored.
