For this wonderful collection, Fred A.

And also Leah Adler, mother of film director Steven Spielberg, who, Bernstein writes, was the funniest person he'd ever met, and readers will agree. With obvious love and pride, Leah kvetches about bringing up a peculiar son ("I didn't know what the hell he was"). The mothers in The Jewish Mothers' Hall of Fame lovingly report on their children-rock stars, a lawyer, a playwright, and other achievers, and at least two people more notorious than famous: porn film star Harry Reems and Yippie ex-convict Abbie Hoffman.
