486 pages, 4 plates, cloth, dj, very good. From the dj, 'For some two decades, Abe Rosenthal was arguably the most powerful person in printed journalism in the world. As executive editor of The New York Times, he exerted tremendous influence and control over 'All the news that's fit to print,' the paper's self-described mission as bulletin board for The American Establishment. Fit To Print examines Rosenthal's rise to power and the enormous use of his position. . . In writing this, Joe Goulden drew upon his interviews with 317 persons over a two year period. Goulden makes extensive use, for the first time, of the vast collection of papers of Rosenthal's mentor, Turner Catledge, now on deposit at Mississippi State University.'
