Hardcover. ix, [1], 229, [1] p. Illustrations. Introduction by Red Auerbach. From Wikipedia: "Michael Leon Carr (born January 9, 1951 in Wallace, North Carolina) is an American former professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association and American Basketball Association, and former head coach and General Manager of the Boston Celtics. He coached the Celtics for two seasons, posting a career record of 48 wins and 116 losses.After graduating from Guilford College, Carr was selected by the Kentucky Colonels of the American Basketball Association with the 7th pick of the 5th round of the 1973 NBA Draft. However, he was one of the final roster cuts the Colonels made in camp, and was subsequently released. The following season, Carr played in Israel for the Israel Sabers in the European Pro Basketball league. For leading his team to the championship, leading the league in scoring, and emerging second in rebounding, he was named Most Valuable Player. During the 1975-76 NBA season, Carr played for the Spirits of St. Louis in the ABA, averaging 12.2 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, and was named to the ABA's All-Rookie Team. The Spirits of St. Louis were one of two ABA teams (the Colonels being the other) that did not join the NBA in the ABA-NBA merger, and as a result Carr joined the NBA as a member of the Detroit Pistons from 1976 79 and the Celtics from 1979 85. He averaged 9.7 points and 4.3 rebounds per game during his NBA career, while being selected to the All-Defense second team during the 1979 season after leading the league in steals. He was best known for the steal and dunk he made in Game 4 of the 1984 NBA Finals, which sealed the victory for Boston, and eventually won a title for them. He is also famous for waving a towel during crucial situations to fire up the Celtics. Carr later became the General Manager of the Celtics in 1994. He later took over as coach for the 1995-96 and 1996-97 seasons. In his last year as coach, the Celtics had the worst record in team history, winning just 15 games and losing 67, which some thought was an effort to get a stronger draft position and poise the team for a comeback under famed college coach Rick Pitino. He was replaced at the end of season by Pitino, who was unable to restore the team to the glory of Carr's playing days. After the 1997 season, he became the Celtics' Director of Corporate Development. Carr later became president of the WNBA's Charlotte Sting as part of a failed attempt to become the owner of an expansion NBA team in Charlotte, along with Steve Belkin and former teammate Larry Bird. He was given a small investment stake in the Charlotte Bobcats when Bob Johnson was selected to have the NBA franchise in Charlotte. Subsequently, Bob Johnson sold the team and ML Carr no longer has a relationship with the Bobcat franchise. Carr currently resides in Huntsville, Alabama, where he is a businessman."

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Poor. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xviii, [2], 314, [2] pages. Illustrations. The dust jacket is worn, torn, chipped, and soiled. Inscribed on the title page by the author. The inscription reads To Franklin Fox with affection and best wishes. Lewis H. Weinstein 1991. Foreword by Abram L. Sachar. Appendix: Rhymes and Poetry. A Memoir by the Lithuanian immigrant who became a lawyer, served as liaison between General Dwight D. Eisenhower and General Charles DeGaulle during World War II. Lewis H. Weinstein was a retired lawyer and advocate of Jewish causes. A prominent litigator and senior partner, he retired from Foley, Hoag & Eliot in 1993 after nearly 50 years with the firm. He often took part in continuing legal-education programs and formerly taught trial practice at Harvard Law School as well as a graduate course in the laws of land-use planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Mr. Weinstein, who was born in Lithuania, was brought to this country as an infant. He graduated as a member of Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard College and, in 1930, from Harvard Law School. In the 1930's he was in private practice in Boston and served as assistant city corporation counsel and general counsel of the Boston Housing Authority. In the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations, he served on the White House Executive Committee on Equal Opportunity in Housing. Mr. Weinstein was a past president of Hebrew College, now in Brookline, Mass., and a backer of groups like the National Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and the Council of Jewish Federations. Derived from a Kirkus review: Weinstein recounts his life as a young immigrant, a student at Harvard Law School, a liaison officer between Eisenhower and de Gaulle, a community activist, and a "friend" of famous men like John F. Kennedy. The most arresting segment of this memoir involves Weinstein's activities during WW II. General Eisenhower visits Ohrdruf, a miniature version of the nearby death camp of Buchenwald only because Weinstein was "persistent as hell" (in Ike's words). Eisenhower vomits from what he sees and smells, but thanks his liaison officer for the education. The future leader of the Free World can only raise his finger to his lips when Weinstein pleads with him to bomb the railway tracks leading to the remaining death camps. Pre- and post-war, however, we have the record of a bright, hard-working Jewish community leader and advocate of American civil rights and worldwide human rights who wants to be remembered as such. After the photos and before the poetic appendix comes a quote from the Talmudic sage Hillel that serves well as the author's writing and publishing credo: "If I cannot be for myself, who is for me? And if I am only for myself, what am I? If not now, when?" An interesting autobiography, which will be of interest to historians.…
