THE SOCIALITE WHO KILLED A NAZI WITH HER BARE HA
The behind-the-scenes, like Arch West, inventor of the Dorito, who pulled America's snacks out of the 1950s doldrums and created a $5-billion-a-year product, and the out-there, like self-styled anarchist and maverick artist (and real estate mogul and museum director) Bob Cassilly, who died at the controls of his bulldozer while building Cementland in St. Louis. And because of the chronological organization of the book, the stories, one next to the other, make for an addictive-as-salted-peanuts book: Mark O. Hatfield, the celebrated antiwar Republican senator from Oregon, next to Nancy Wake of the title, the impoverished New Zealander who grew up to become a high-society hostess and heroine of the French Resistance--the socialite who did, indeed, kill a Nazi with her bare hands.
