The Garner Files James Garner and Jon Winokur


I f y o u think that Jim Rock- ford and J a m e s Garner are one and the same you’d be w r o n g , a n d


though James Garner may have things in com- mon with Brett Maverick they are not the same guy. James Garner tells the story of his life as one of the best loved TV and screen actors of the 20th century as well as his life off-screen with his family, his golf and his race-car driving.


So Many Miracles Saul Rubinek


Using Fra- ni a and Israel Ru- b i n e k ’ s oral his- tories Ru- binek cre- ates a lov- ing trib- ute to his parents by
