Book Reviews: Innocent Spouse: A Memoir

Leona Helmsley aside, tax cases rarely make the news. In Carol Ross Joynt’s Innocent Spouse, the newsmaker was the tax case.At 22, Joynt worked as Walter Cronkite’s personal writer, went on to write and produce for Charlie Rose, and ultimately for Larry King. The name-dropping is slightly gratuitous but somewhat unavoidable with Joynt’s stature among the who’s who of American journalism.
