Land of Dreams
"Land of Dreams - A Reporter's Journey from Sweden to America" is a personal and political retrospective on my many years in the United States, from my arrival in Los Angeles in June 1960 to today's Washington, DC, with the country's first African-American president, Barack Obama, in the White House.

The future of the country remains open.
