About This Item
Seldes writes to Harold Rugg about travel arrangements for a talk he is to give at Teachers College of Columbia University in New York City: "The 3:30 p m train also has a bus service and I am sure the ordeal will be over by then." The first carbon copy is a letter from Rugg saying he is delighted that Seldes can meet with their luncheon group. "If you prefer to write a brief summary of the points you are making in your book on Europe, in order to provoke questions from the group, that will be fine." He goes on to ask about travel arrangements, to which Seldes' letter is a reply. The second carbon copy is of Rugg's confirmation of the arrangements.
George Seldes [1890-1995] was an American investigative journalist, foreign correspondent, editor, author and media critic. He is best known for publishing the newsletter "In Fact" from 1940 to 1950. Seldes influenced and was greatly admired by a whole generation of journalists and activists such as Washington Post columnist Colman McCarthy, Nat Hentoff and Ralph Nader.
