Name-Droppings: Close Encounters with the Famous and Near-Famous - Paperback

How did Clint Eastwood spend his Thursday evenings? What caused one of America's greatest basketball coaches to scream the "n-word" at the author? How did Heller become an early witness to the Clinton-Lewinsky affair? Why did jazz singer Helen O'Connell proposition the young, innocent Charlie Heller? What led the author to insult the leader of America's space program? How did Heller and a TV star/sex therapist develop immediate rapport? How did the author and the leader of a famous rock band become friends?

These are some of the interesting vignettes told by Charles Ota Heller, a former CEO entrepreneur, educator, venture capitalist, athlete, and engineer who came to America as an immigrant from Czechoslovakia at the age of thirteen and who now looks back at a life of chasing the proverbial American Dream, chronicling the famous and near-famous people he met along the way.
