Scope and Contents

Okrent's correspondence is a mix of business and personal.

Personal correspondence includes that related to Okrent's professional work outside of Time Inc. as a writer and commentator.

His correspondence also includes transcripts and other material for John Loengard's Life oral history project and remains with the set from 1999 in the original order although this project was conducted earlier.
