It is the inside story on Rochester - society, business, newspapers, millionaires, politics, all appraised with the detachment and knowledge of a journalist but with the humor so characteristic of the author.... Six or seven hundred Rochesterians are the principal characters and as Mr. Gerling says - 'The names are not changed to protect the innocent.'"
