About the Author
Edwin Newman was a longtime correspondent for NBC News. Some of his more famous coverage included the Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations, the Arab-Israeli War, the Vietnam cease-fire, and being the first person to interview Emperor Hirohito (Japan). He has been the host for both Speaking Freely and Today and his other books include A Civil Tongue and Your Public Best.
Review
“It is incumbent upon every individual to read Strictly Speaking at this point in time and in the context of where we are trending word wise. Ed Newman—scholar, wit, raconteur, and stylist—has written a brilliant, curmudgeonly book. It may even be viable.” —Tom Wicker, columnist, The New York Times
“I have been of the opinion that the English language in America would disintegrate some Sunday afternoon between the beginning of ‘Meet the Press’ and the end of ‘Issues and Answers’ in a presidential election year and during the professional football season. Nothing would be left but a heap of unrelated adjectives and adverbs. On reading Edwin Newman, I am convinced that death and disintegration could come at any time in any place.” —Eugene J. McCarthy, former U.S. Senator, Adlai E. Stevenson Professor of Political Science, New School for Social Research
