President Richard M. Nixon and Elvis Presley
Harpo Marx and George Bernard Shaw

BRILLIANT IN CONCEPTION AND DIZZYING IN EXECUTION,
Hello Goodbye Hello
is a daisy chain of 101 fascinating true encounters, chance meetings, and disastrous collisions between the celebrated and the gifted, the famous and the infamous. Witty and wicked,
is the perfect example that truth is stranger than fiction (and infinitely more enjoyable).
