Getting Affairs in Order

Wednesday, January 11, 2006

Lee Eisenberg, former Editor-in-Chief of Esquire, is here to tackle the anxiety-inspiring subject of how to go about preparing for a comfortable retirement.

And Al and Larry Ubell answer your home repair questions.

The Vendetta

In the 1930s, Melvin Purvis was one of America’s best-known good guys: a young G-Man in the FBI who led the fight against the country’s biggest criminals, from John Dillinger to Pretty Boy Floyd. In The Vendetta, Melvin’s son Alston Purvis argues that Melvin’s fame and success caused his infamous boss, J. Edgar Hoover, to turn against him.


The Rest of Your Life

Living for the moment might be a good strategy for emotional happiness, but it can be disastrous for your finances. In The Number: A Completely Different Way to Think About the Rest of Your Life, former Esquire Editor-in-Chief Lee Eisenberg describes how to secure peace of mind now, and a comfortable retirement for the future.
