My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.
While television feels obliged to offer spectacle, there can be only so many contests of the century and great debates. Trying to generate that much expectation means there will be a good deal of disappointment coming to your screen.
