TALKING BACK

NBC Foreign Correspondent and White House Reporter Andrea Mitchell has a lot of energy. She does a terrific job as the narrator of her own story. It's a pleasure to hear her deep, polished voice recounting her professional experiences as though each one were simple to accomplish. Her adventures with Fidel Castro are telling and amusing. Her thoughts on Ronald Reagan are equally frank. Especially touching are her stories of finding herself in unusual situations and gracefully (sometimes miraculously) making her way to success. Her reading enhances the drama of her narrative and gives insight to the famous and infamous characters she has encountered in the last quarter-century. No one else could have done better.
