William E Simon-quintessential American figure of the American century: Wall Street wunderkind, treasury secretary under Presidents Nixon and Ford, successful entrepreneur, US Olympic Committee president, best-selling author, pioneering philanthropist, and devout Catholic. Simon's insightful and often humorous autobiography, A Time for Reflection, includes a diverse cast of characters whose lives intersected with Simon's: from the president and his advisers at the White House; to the highest realms of the Catholic Church (in particular, Cardinal Egan), to celebrities, like actress Meryl Streep; and sports figures, like basketball coach Bobby Knight. In A Time for Reflection, Simon offers us some behind-the-scenes glimpses of history being made, including: President Nixon as Simon knew him, both in office and after; How Simon confronted Ronald Reagan during the Republican convention in 1980 to help nix the idea of a co-presidency with Gerald Ford; The tumult of the 1980 Moscow Olympic games, boycotted by the United States, and the 1984 Los Angeles games, boycotted by the Soviet Union; How Simon battled the Arab 'oil crisis' as 'energy czar' for President Nixon; Simon's fight in the Ford administration against Vice President Nelson Rockefeller on how to help a bankrupt New York City; Making the case for freedom with his best-selling books A Time for Truth and A Time for Action. Simon's fascinating life also encompassed sailing adventures -- including conquering the Northwest Passage from Alaska to Greenland and being named king by a group of Fiji islanders -- as well as adventures of the soul: giving away millions to charity; becoming a eucharistic minister; and helping to care for the sick, the poor, and the dying. William E Simon passed away on June 2000, but his autobiography, written in conjunction with and completed by John M Caher, is now published for the first time, a testimony to one of the truly impressive Americans of the twentieth century.

"Although I have lived in a lot of places, I have always considered Grand Rapids to be my home." 
With this simple statement, former President Gerald R. Ford introduces Greater Grand Rapids: The City That Works. Looking back on his distinguished career, he recalls the many addresses he has occupied. The dorm at the University of Michigan. A cramped bunk on a naval aircraft carrier. Local law offices. The U.S. Congress. And, of course, the world's most famous address, the White House. 
Yet, as Ford reveals, Grand Rapids is the place he continues to regard as "a kind of bedrock that has remained very much the same even though the city itself has grown and prospered beyond my wildest imagination." 
Aided by hundreds of outstanding images shot by the area's best photographers and gathered by photo editor John Corriveau, Ford captures the essence of this bedrock community in a way that will inform those who do not know Grand Rapids, and delight those who are fortunate enough to call the city home. 
Remembering fondly his longtime hometown, Ford concludes, "There has always been something about . . . [Grand Rapids]--something familiar and down-to-earth--that has helped its residents to keep their feet on the ground no matter where their dreams and careers might take them."
