Book excerpt: "Phil Beuth spent his entire broadcasting career with one company. As the first employee of a fledgling media startup in 1955, Phil worked his way up over a 40-year span, as Capital Cities grew to become one of America's most influential and successful media companies. Limping on Water is a Dickensian rags-to-riches tale of a disadvantaged boy, born with cerebral palsy, who rose to become a top executive at one of America's most respected and successful media companies, Capital Cities Communications, a member of two Broadcasting Halls of Fame, head of Good Morning America and a Division President of ABC. More than simply recollections of a career at a celebrated company and the famous people encountered along his path, Phil's story is a keen insider's chronicle of that 'Mad Men' golden era of television; a time when broadcasting as we know it came into being."--
