In his new memoir, "Laughing At Myself," Glickman shares moments both solemn and humorous from five decades in Washington, D.C.

He’s been a Kansas congressman, the U.S. secretary of agriculture and the CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America. Among the many stories he tells, Glickman recalls the advice he received before playing a round of golf with President Bill Clinton.
