Summary:

For Coming of Age, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Peabody Award-winning radio host, himself an octogenarian, has interviewed several very different men and women ranging in age from 70 to 99. Some are powerful celebrities (Maggie Kuhn of the Grey Panthers, economist John Kenneth Galbraith); others are obscure people in small towns. Together they represent an extraordinary panorama of American life and work throughout this century and the ways in which the times have changed.
