Bush. the Secrets of the Little Blue Box, the classic story of ""Captain Crunch"" and the birth of hacker culture. the ""unorthodox"" cancer-cure clinics of Tijuana. the Great Ivy League Nude Posture Photo Scandal. the unsolved murder of JFK's mistress.

Salinger to the Zagat(R) guide, The Secret Parts of Fortune is a vital record of American culture.
