About

How did Clint Eastwood spend his Thursday evenings? What caused one of Americas greatest basketball coaches to scream the n-word at the author? How did Heller become an early witness to the Clinton-Lewinsky affair? Why did jazz singer Helen OConnell proposition the young, innocent Charlie Heller? What led the author to insult the leader of Americas space program? How did Heller and a TV star/sex therapist develop immediate rapport? How did the author and the leader of a famous rock band become friends? These are some of the interesting vignettes told by Charles Ota Heller, a former CEO entrepreneur, educator, venture capitalist, athlete, and engineer who came to America as an immigrant from Czechoslovakia at the age of thirteen and who now looks back at a life of chasing the proverbial American Dream, chronicling the famous and near-famous people he met along the way.
