Author
Larry N. Gerston
Larry N. Gerston lives two lives. A political science professor at San Jose State University, he has authored or coauthored seven academic texts. Since 1980, Larry has been the political analyst at NBC11, the San Francisco Bay Area NBC-owned station. He also writes “Up Front,” a monthly column for San Jose Magazine, and has authored more than eighty newspaper op-ed pieces. But Larry has an entirely different life too, far removed from the lofty academic world. An admitted shopaholic, he can’t get near a shopping mall without going in. Sales drive him crazy with curiosity; although he may not buy, he’s compelled to check the prices—whether he needs the items or not! Simply put, where there are deals to be found, Larry lurks nearby. No wonder he’s so devoted to Costco.
