William E. Simon - quintessential American figure of the American century: Wall Street wunderkind, treasury secretary under Presidents Nixon and Ford, successful entrepreneur, U.S. Olympic Committee president, bestselling 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 advisors at the White House; to the highest realms of the Catholic Church (in particular, Cardinal Egan); to celebrities, such as actress Meryl Streep; and sports figures, like basketball coach Bobby Knight.
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.
