The best, i.e., most bizarre, part of this book is the anecdote that recounts one of the last encounters between Mathers and his screen-dad.They saw each other in a grocery store and embraced. But then, Hugh Beaumont began to spew an uninterrupted stream of the most foul obscenities imaginable.Several customers who recognized Ward & the Beav' stood by, transfixed by the torrent of profanity.After a minute or so, the tirade ended and the elderly Beaumont apologized.Mathers said Tourette's Syndrome afflicted the kind & gentle minister-actor. Nevertheless, the younger Cleaver laments the bad impression that a few shoppers may have of this famed tv dad.That is the book's high point, so save your money.
