This book can change the way you listen to big shots - meaning mostly businesspersons but with a snapshot or two of politicians - as they pontificate for public consumption and personal gain.

For over 50 years, the local teams have been locking horns every November. They play for pride, a coveted trophy, and, very often, a shot at the league championship.
