The book tells the whimsical tale of a Napa Valley road trip taken by a 40ish screenwriter whose career is stalled and his TV-actor buddy who's about to get married. That randy fellow Dustin Hoffman can't seem to keep his name out of the news these days. Today in the New York Post, Hoffman pal Gene Hackman recounts a story from their days of rooming together in Manhattan in the early '60s. Apparently the pair cooked up a scheme to impress a Macy's saleswoman whom Hoffman wanted to impress. She was lying on the floor trying to scream for the police between sobs.
