Michael Kinsley, a columnist at Vanity Fair and contributor to numerous other publications, was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 1993. This series of essays is not just about PD but also about the aging baby boomers and what legacy they will leave. Acquiring the most toys and debt? Changing the world for better or worse? Keeping all their marbles or living the longest? Or both? This is an upbeat, humorist look at his own generation, warts and all. Good read!
