Outrage, Passion, And Uncommon Sense: How Editorial Writers

"Here`s The New York Times arguing against the vote for women, The Washington Post lamenting that liquor is gone from this nation and will never come back. Here`s a courageous Southern editor standing up to readers incensed he ran a photo of the black athlete Jesse Owens. And here`s Horace Greeley lecturing Abraham Lincoln." "These editorials - selected and explained by a man who himself won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing - are the first commentary on history as it was being made. They show the anguish or war, the divisions of race, the intrigue of politics, the glory of freedom." "Culled from newspapers large and small ("The editor of this paper desires to buy a horse," began an editorial in The Emporia Daily Gazette in 1906,NULL,NULL,NULL), they depict America through the ages. It is a history unlike any other, as entertaining as it is informative, as surprising as it is enlightening."--BOOK JACKET.
