featuring

Morrie's story is a familiar one.
Growing up during the Depression, he
• lost his mother at age 8, watched his
father work in a sweatshop and
\-- vowed to pursue a better life. He
• became a teacher "by default," he said,
after graduating from New York's City
College and winning a fellowship to
the University of Chicago, where he
/` \ earned both a master's and a doctorate
in sociology. Teaching at Brandeis
became his life's work.
He continued teaching classes after
the diagnosis of his disease in 1994,
_ .
- incorporating what he was learning
about the meaning of life as he faced
impending death. Koppel traveled to
Boston three times to interview
\ Morrie. Those episodes were among
/1 the highest rated ever for "Nightline."
Morrie was now the nation's teacher.
Mitch Albom saw that first inter-
view with Morrie and called his for-
mer mentor. He flew from Detroit to
/- Boston each Tuesday for visits that
became Morrie's last great lesson.
Their final "class" together was the
week of Morrie's death, at age 79.
Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man,
A Young Man and Life's Greatest Lesson
(Doubleday, $19.95) is a chronicle of
their time together, through which
Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift to
the world.
Through fourteen Tuesdays, Morrie
shares his wisdom on subjects ranging
from feeling sorry for yourself to
) money, marriage, forgiveness, the fear
of aging and death, the perfect day
and more. "Every page of this beauti-
ful, moving little book shines with the
warmth of unembarrassed love," said
Rabbi Harold Kushner (When Bad
\ Things Happen To Good People) of
• Tuesdays with Morrie. "If Morrie
Schwartz taught me anything at all,"
says Albom in Tuesdays, "it was this:
there is no such thing as 'too late' in
life. He was changing until the day he
said goodbye."
