Has anyone read Presidents, Kings, Astronauts, and Ball Players: Fascinating People I Have Known?  It looks good.

I have not, but thanks for the tip. The people he covers run the gamut...JC Penny, Dwight Eisenhower, Dinah Shore, Willie Mays and so on. You can read limited portions at google books to get a feel for it.

His stories in person are very interesting.  So I imagine the book will be very good.  I have enjoyed my meetings with him a lot.  If you are ever offered the opportunity to speak with him, you will not regret it.
