Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. An engaging and unusually intimate portrait of Washington journalism during the turbulent early 1970s, when the Vietnam War, Watergate, and the Nixon presidency transformed the relationship between the American press and political power. Drawing on interviews, personal observations, and his own experience as a Washington correspondent, Barney Collier examines the personalities, ambitions, rivalries, professional ethics, and private lives of the journalists who shaped national news coverage. Featured figures include Ben Bradlee, Carl Bernstein, Helen Thomas, Dan Rather, James Reston, Eric Sevareid, Art Buchwald, Maxine Cheshire, Stewart and Joseph Alsop, and numerous other influential correspondents and commentators. An especially appealing feature is the extensive black-and-white photography by Maggi Castelloe, whose candid portraits capture journalists in newsrooms, private residences, and Washington political settings. The photographs include Ben Bradlee in his Washington Post office, Helen Thomas at the White House, and revealing informal portraits of Maxine Cheshire and other prominent members of the press corps. The book's original typographic jacket, designed by Richard Adelson, adds further period character. Condition: Very Good hardcover in Very Good dust jacket.

DJ has some wsear and soiling. In the early seventies, when the press and the president were at war, the journalists became superstars. The cast includes: Joseph Alsop, Stewart Alsop, Jack Anderson, Johnny Paale, Carl Bernstein, Ben Bradlee, Art Buchwald, Maxine Cheshire, Roland Evans, Soma Golden, Bernard Kalb, Marvin Kalb, Douglas Kiker, the Reverend Lester Kinsolving, Clark Mollenhoff, Robert Novak, Bob Pierpoint, Sally Quinn, Dan Rather, James Reston, Harry Rosenfield, Carl Rowen, Eric Sevareid, Eileen Shanahan, Lawrence Spivak, Susan Stamberg, Helen Thomas, Sander Vanocur, Mike Waters, Bob Woodward, and others. Derived from a Kirkus review: A former New York Times reporter looks at the personalities of the elite within the Washington press corps. "In order to more nearly understand the news from Washington," Collier writes, "you must more nearly understand the life of the person who tells you what the news may be. News is a point of view. What's news to me may not be news to you." Amen. Collier does hit the mark and the vignettes are quite telling. He dissects Washington Post interviewer Sally Quinn; Sander Vanocur, who got too close to the Kennedys to maintain his journalistic detachment and is now genteelly down and out; Art Buchwald, whose unhappy childhood is so at odds with his present zany image and satiric bent; and investigative reporter Clark Mollenhoff's seduction into politics. Collier's story of his own attempt to become a television reporter is priceless (he flopped his TV screen test). There is a tremendous amount of flashes that are really good.
