Yes Greg, you're absolutely right. I have that title in a little subset of
records reserved for this genre, one in which almost no ethnic group or foreign

Conot - who wrote Streak of Luck was a general author. That was the only
book he wrote on Edison. I did meet him at the Edison Site in West Orange
when he was researching it.
