Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Inscribed by Simon's son. Publisher's ephemera laid in. xv, 352 p. Illustrations. Endnotes. Index. Foreword by Gerald R. Ford. Foreword by George Shultz. William E Simon-quintessential American figure of the American century: Wall Street wunderkind, treasury secretary under Presidents Nixon and Ford, successful entrepreneur, US Olympic Committee president, best-selling author, pioneering philanthropist, and devout Catholic. Simon's insightful and often humorous autobiography, A Time for Reflection, includes a diverse cast of characters whose lives intersected with Simon's: from the president and his advisers at the White House; to the highest realms of the Catholic Church (in particular, Cardinal Egan), to celebrities, like actress Meryl Streep; and sports figures, like basketball coach Bobby Knight.

Simon's fascinating life also encompassed sailing adventures--including conquering the Northwest Passage from Alaska to Greenland and being named king by a group of Fiji islanders--as well as adventures of the soul: giving away millions to charity; becoming a eucharistic minister; and helping to care for the sick, the poor, and the dying. William E Simon passed away on June 2000, but his autobiography, written in conjunction with and completed by John M Caher, is now published for the first time, a testimony to one of the truly impressive A.
