But Seriously: Steve Allen Speaks His Mind by Steve Allen published by Prometheus Books

But Seriously offers a superb sampling of Steve Allen's articles, personal correspondence, speeches, book excerpts, forewords written to introduce the work of important writers, and thoughtful reflections on many of today's serious issues facing our society, from the bomb to religious activism. Whether Allen is serving up some tongue-in-cheek advice on "How to Attack a Liberal", in which he identifies himself as a liberal and then advises conservatives how to best confront his beliefs ethically, or is offering his views on Chinese nuclear capability, his razor-sharp insights always cut to the core of the issue. This cornucopia of well-reasoned discussion is filled with good humor, irony and deep concern for the human condition. Among the diverse selections included in But Seriously are Allen's views on Native Americans, Madonna, criminals, labor relations, lessons to be learned from Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, and an open letter to Frank Sinatra. "Steve Allen takes aim at many subjects, hitting the funny bone and a nerve or two." --Detroit News "This anthology of speeches, articles and essays reveals a turn of mind that is at times comic, thoughtful, and angry, but always concise and logical." --The Herald "Allen is a bonafide genius. [He] comes to his opinions through careful study and flawless logic . . ." --Ventura County Star " An absolute delight to pick up and turn to for witty and insightful opinions . . ." --Skeptic "Full of his razor-sharp wit and profound insight, the book is testimony to his brilliance. [This is] a delightful work by a Renaissance man who invites us to think." --Star-Ledger
