In 1947 Stan caught a wave just as KTLA Channel 5, Los Angeles, was becoming the first commercial television station this side of the Mississippi. This wave has taken Stan on an unimaginable journey covering TV news that has been going strong for sixty years. He shares his life with an engaging style that merges storyline with a broad spectrum of television history and events that includes:
• Technical achievements in television, (e.g., KTLA engineered the first ever news Telecopter)
• The Bobby Kennedy Assassination (1968)
• Breaking of the Rodney King Beating story
• The Baldwin Hills Dam Disaster
• The Watts Riots (1965) and the Los Angeles Riots (1992)
• The Kathy Fiscus Story (the "little girl" who fell into the well in 1947)
• Live coverage of the A-Bomb test in the Nevada prove-up grounds (1951)
• Southern California earthquakes, Malibu fires, and everything in between.
Nearly 22,000 stories later, he's still out there, mic in hand, because, as Chambers puts it, "When you report news in Los Angeles, you are broadcasting to the biggest hometown in America."

KTLA's News at Ten: 60 Years with Stan Chambers
Before reading this book, I did not know who Maria Celeste Arraras was because I have never watched the Spanish networks on tv. However, I picked it up off the free shelf at the library because of the subtitle, "How to Have it All Without Losing Your Soul." I am always looking for ways to improve myself so I grabbed it. It's really more of snippets of her life and her opinions on life. It was an engaging read but I think the title was a tad misleading. Sure......she advises to be nice, to forgive, and to be loyal, but it's not really a "self-help" book as the title seems to imply.
I will say though, that as a reporter she is very brave. I cannot even imagine how scared she was when she went into Mexico to talk about a secret passage into the United States. I love how much she cares for animals and advocated for them. It saddened me that her trusted assistant took advantage of her and stole over $300,000 from her.
Interesting read but only 3 stars in my opinion.
