Accompanied by more than five hundred photographs, this thorough and lucid narrative covers the critical national and international events of this troubled and still troubling decade. Paul Sann joined The New York Post as a copyboy in 1931 and stepped down in 1977 after 28 years as executive editor. Mr. Sann was one of New York's best-known newspapermen. Before becoming an editor, he earned recognition as a reporter for his colorful, punchy style. The topics he covered ran the gamut from the slaying of Dutch Schultz in a Newark tavern in 1935, when Mr. Sann was a fledgling police reporter, to the Presidential campaign of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, for which the journalist took time out from his duties as executive editor. In 1945, he became a Washington correspondent but was brought back the following year as assistant to the executive editor of The Home News, a Post publication then circulating in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx. In 1949, the publisher of The Post, Dorothy Schiff, appointed James A. Wechsler as editor of the afternoon tabloid and named Mr. Sann executive editor, a position in which he functioned as a managing editor. He often wrote headlines and designed the front page, and wrote editorials in the absence of the editor and directed the Post's Sunday magazine. Mr. Sann resigned in January 1977 after Mrs. Schiff sold The Post to Rupert Murdoch, who brought in his own team of editors. Paul Sann was a master editor and writer. His brief commentary on the important and unimportant events of the 1960s makes this book indispensable for anyone. The Sixties dominated by the Vietnam War, Civil Rights Protests, the 60s also saw the assassinations of US President John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Cuban Missile Crisis, and finally ended on a good note when the first man is landed on the moon. The 1960s was a decade when hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans gave new life to the nation's democratic ideals. African Americans used sit-ins, freedom rides, and protest marches to fight segregation, poverty, and unemployment. Feminists demanded equal job opportunities and an end to sexual discrimination. Mexican Americans protested discrimination in voting, education, and employment. Native Americans demanded that the government recognize their land claims and the right of tribes to govern themselves. Environmentalists demanded legislation to control the amount of pollution released into the environment. Seller Inventory # 84456
