520    Drawing on a lifetime of journalistic encounters with the 
       great and the famous, Alistair Cooke profiles the six 
       extraordinary men who impressed him the most Over the 
       course of his sixty-year career as a broadcaster, 
       television host, and newspaper reporter, Alistair Cooke 
       met many remarkable people of the twentieth century. This 
       entertaining and insightful collection shares his unique, 
       often startling personal vision of six key figures from 
       the worlds of literature, entertainment, and politics. 
       They are: Charlie Chaplin, whom Cooke befriended in 
       Hollywood and who courted controversy in his politics and 
       romances; the charming-yet-naive Edward VIII, whose love 
       affair changed the course of World War II; Humphrey Bogart,
       the first antihero hero onscreen and a sensitive gentleman
       at home; H. L. Mencken, brilliant, inspirational, and 
       deeply flawed; Adlai Stevenson, whom Cooke labeled the 
       failed saint; and Bertrand Russell, who had the courage 
       and the audacity to try to make the world a better place. 
       The subjects of Six Men are united by the deep 
       complexities of their characters. In balancing informed 
       details of their lives with an objectivity set against the
       ever-changing landscape of their times, Six Men is a 
       master course in the art of concise biography.
