“Audition: A Memoir” (Knopf Publishing Group, 448 pages) by Barbara Walters.
Barbara Walters puts life on display with book ‘Audition’
NEW YORK (AP) — No one doubts she’s hard-driving. But she has never learned to drive, Barbara Walters reveals in her new memoir, ‘‘Audition.’’

And she allots six pages from the book’s 612 for a startling confession: Her ‘‘long and rocky affair’’ in the 1970s with a politician who was married and — further upping the ante — an African American. This covert romance between U.S. Sen. Edward Brooke and Walters, then co-host of NBC’s ‘‘Today’’ show, made headlines (and raised eyebrows) when it was leaked last week. » Full Story
