Items related to But Seriously...: Steve Allen Speaks His Mind
As its title suggests, But Seriously . . . offers readers a superb sampling of Steve Allen's articles, personal correspondence, speeches, book excerpts, and forewords written to introduce the work of important writers.
Whether Allen is serving up some tongue-in-cheek advice on "How to Attack a Liberal" in which he identifies himself as the liberal and then advises conservatives on how best to confront his beliefs ethically, or is offering his views on Chinese nuclear capability, his razor-sharp insights always cut to the core of the issue. This cornucopia of well-reasoned discussion is filled with good humor, irony, and a deep concern for the human condition. Whether he's offering "Concluding Remarks at the National Catholic Conference for Interracial Justice," an excerpt from The Courage of Conviction, or expressing his views on Native Americans, labor relations, the lessons to be learned from Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, or presenting an open letter to Frank Sinatra, Allen's devotion to common sense and serious social involvement carves a path for others to follow.

Norman Cousins once wrote that "In any inventory of the natural resources on this planet", Steve Allen's conscience is "high on the list" It is this wonderfully prolific, highly educated conscience which prompted each of the articles included in But Seriously . Steve Allen Speaks His Mind. Such a dynamic, energetic conscience has encouraged Allen throughout his career as an author and entertainer to examine the innumerable facets of modern American society, identifying the many problems which desperately need to be corrected and developing provocative new solutions to do so. Allen's razor-sharp insights always cut to the core of the issue, whether the topic involves labor relations, the atomic bomb, gifted education, or the lessons to be learned from the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. This collection of speeches, articles, personal correspondence, and other writings constitutes a well-reasoned anthology filled with good humor, irony, and a deep concern for the human condition. Allen's devotion to common sense and serious social involvement carves a path for others to follow. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
