This is an excellent collection of two- to three-page biographical sketches of 500 noteworthy journalists from 1690 to the present. . . . This book, cross-indexed several ways, may become the takeoff point for thousands of term papers and should be in reference collections, as well as in all serious media collections. Library Journal This comprehensive reference offers nearly 500 biographical sketches, with bibliography, of significant journalists in American history, past and present, living and dead. Its subjects are drawn from the major mass media, including newspapers, radio, television, magazines, and film, and it provides a thorough representation of the various subfields of American journalism, such as reporters, editors, columnists, humorists, editorial cartoonists, illustrators, photographers, commentators, all types of correspondents, and sports journalists. Unlike similar volumes, this dictionary goes beyond the mainstream media to draw upon significant figures from the feminist and suffragist press, and the black press, and traces the development of American journalism from its beginning in Boston in 1690 to present global broadcast networks. The biographical sketches present perspectives on the lives of the people who help develop the big city and small city newspaper press, the regional press, the frontier press, the early radio and television news, and the radical and dissident press. Arranged alphabetically, each sketch includes a useful bibliography for further reference, and there is a general index as well as an appendix that lists the subjects according to media, professional fields and other categories. The broad scope of this valuable sourcebook will make it an indispensable aid in the fields of journalism and communications, and a useful addition to university and college libraries, metropolitan newspapers, national and local magazines, and broadcast networks and local stations in large cities.

In this powerful book, Senator Eugene McCarthy explains how America has been turning into a colony of the rest of the world--a captive of its self-imposed duty to police the world, its borders a mockery for all to cross. McCarthy speaks frankly with the clear voice of reason at a time when issues are obscured by misleading advertising and election-time rhetoric.

(In HARD YEARS Sen. Eugene McCarthy gazes into the dismal ...)
In HARD YEARS Sen. Eugene McCarthy gazes into the dismal abyss of the disastrous times from the 1960's through the 1979's explains what went wrong, why, and how we might avoid repeating those catastrophes. Contrary to those engaged in perpetually whistling past the graveyard, McCarthy finds no solace in notions our political system is proved effective because the institutions of the political process, government, law, and the press clanked and groaned until one president, Lyndon Johnson, was frightened away from office and another, Richard Nixon, was forced to resign lest he be impeached. If that is proof of success the voyage of the RMS Titanic was a success too; after all, not everyone drowned. At all the critical points in those decades nearly every responsible institution failed because irresponsible and corrupted individuals cast their lot with forces hell-bent on the destruction of the American democracy and the rule of law; we survived, badly wounded, more through luck than through wisdom. Important lessons about the proper functions of all our institutions and the duties and obligations of office holders and the need for constant vigilance can be found herein, lessons we must learn by heart and remember always since the forces that brought the republic to the brink in the 60's and 70's are still with us, even more powerful than then.

(With some of the most prestigious universities in America...)
With some of the most prestigious universities in America urging students to defer admissions so they can experience the world, the idea of the gap year has taken hold in America. Since its development in Britain nearly fifty years ago, taking time off between secondary school and college has allowed students the opportunity to travel, develop crucial life skills, and grow up, all while doing volunteer work in much-needed parts of the developing world. Until now, there has been no systematic study of how the gap year helps students develop as young scholars and citizens. Joseph O'Shea has produced the first empirically based analysis of a gap year's influence on student development. He also establishes a context for better understanding this personal development and suggests concrete ways universities and educators can develop effective gap year programs.

(The proper role of the government operating in a free soc...)
The proper role of the government operating in a free society and regulating an individual's behavior is a subject that can provoke heated political debate. There is an ongoing discussion among the nine Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court about the fundamental values that are reflected in the words of the Bill of Rights. If we contrast the interpretation of the Bill of Rights presented by the Earl Warren Court four decades ago with the more recent decisions handed down by the Rehnquist and Roberts Court, we cannot avoid the conclusion that there has been a substantial change in the rights enjoyed by Americans. In referring to these changes, Justice Stephen Breyer recently wrote: "It is not often in the law that so few have so quickly changed so much". In The Bill of Rights Today, attorney and political scientist Joseph Dillon Davey examines the most controversial cases handed down by the Supreme Court and shows how the issues involved in these cases have profound implications for American society. Davey emphasizes the most controversial issues being faced by the High Court today and challenges our perspective on the role the Supreme Court Justice plays in determining the extent society will continue to enjoy the freedoms outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
