Description: This is James Reston's Deadline: A Memoir. This 525 page hardback was published in 1991. From the DJ we read, "In this remarkable memoir, James 'Scotty' Reston, one of the legendary journalists of the twentieth century, looks back on fifty years in America, in journalism, and in his life. From 1940, when he joined The New York Times, on through his years as Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, Times Washington bureau chief, executive director, and celebrated columnist, Reston has been at the center as the great news stories of our time were reported. Now, in Deadline, he tells the stories behind the big stories, and reflects back on what what really happened, in America and journalism, between 1940 and 1990. From London during the blitz to the Washington of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Felix Frankfurter, Dean Acheson, and Walter Lippmann; from whistle-stopping with Harry Truman and Adlai Stevenson to commenting on America during the years of Eisenhower, McCarthy, and Nixon; from talking in Vienna with John F. Kennedy after a difficult meeting with Khrushchev to having breakfast with Lyndon B. Johnson; from the seventies of Ford and Carter on through the eighties and nineties of Reagan and Bush-here is Reston's singular perspective on the American experience. Profiling political leaders, publishers, and presidents, taking us behind the scenes with the people who make and create the news, Reston also gives more private reflections on his Scottish immigrant experience, his start in journalism as a sports reporter, his marriage to the love of his life, Sally Fulton Reston. Filled with wisdom, substance, shrewd insights, and fascinating anecdotes, and written with a sense of humor and of history, Deadline brilliantly captures America in our time."
