Still, this is a treat for political junkies. . From Publishers Weekly Millions of TV viewers may feel they already know Mitchell—she has reported on politics for NBC for some 30 years and is married to the Fed's Alan Greenspan—but there's lots to learn about her in this engrossing memoir. Bush, done exclusives with Castro, sat in on high-level negotiations in the Middle East and North Korea, and much more. All rights reserved. Yet her original insistence on a clear separation of work and social life seems progressively undercut by her own account. After covering the major political conventions for them, she was hired by NBC and headed to Washington. Shortly after, she flew to Guyana for her first major story: the 1978 Jonestown massacre.
