This past year has been a banner year, obviously, because of the book. I couldn't have asked for a better reception to the release of "Judy Garland: The Voice of MGM" than I received from critics and fans. It's been a dream come true.

"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."
