The Blink of An I John A Ciampa

Franciscans and blue stocking social workers take the kid from the street gang to the Ivy League; mentors move the young man through Hollywood, Synanon, Actors Studio from practicing criminal law in Manhattan to award winning writing in Hollywood. He comes to know Lee Strasberg, Frank Sinatra, Richard Feynman, Buckminster Fuller, Angus Campbell, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Gorbachev, but then the information age breeze takes him on yet another course.

Now he shares his story in The Blink of an I .
