" The Zappas are quite the clan of communicators. Frank's father wrote a wonderful little book called "Chances and How to Take Them" as a result his fascination with "experimental" gambling and mathematics. Both Frank's sisters have written books, his brother was an editor at McGraw Hill, his eldest daughter has written a thinly-veiled autobiography and his youngest son wrote a kid's book."
