ALL THE TROUBLE IN THE WORLD

O'Rourke is not the least concerned with political correctness and probably will offend many listeners. In All the Trouble in the World, he treats listeners to his take on huge problems endlessly in the news. He travels to the Earth Summit in Rio, to Bangladesh, Haiti and Vietnam--Thirty Years Later, taking swipes at the stultifying political and bureaucratic realities he finds. Actor Victor Slezak reads the essays in a deadpan tone, which lets the powerful comment come through right along with the wit. B.V. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB 96]
