About This Item
Garden City, NY : Garden City Books, 1954, 1954. Very Good. vii, 179 pp. ; 25 cm. ; red cloth with photographic dustjacket ; Contents: Through the perilous night -- Improving on t he founding fathers -- News and the whole truth -- History as doublethink -- Grandeurs and miseries of old age -- Are we worth saving and if so, why? ; "Most of the material in this book was spoken before it was printed.." ; "It might seem from the forgoing that I live in a state of permanent annoyance. Not at all; there is plenty nowadays that is annoying, God knows; but there are also plenty of good people in the world. An unforeseen dividend of my missionary journeys was that I made the acquaintance of so many of the best of them--agreeable persons who were also good citizens, as unhappily is not always the case. I am afraid, however, that I was preaching mostly to just men and women who need no repentance." ; Elmer Davis was a political reported for the New York Times for ten years. He was a Rhodes Scholar. In 1939 he began a career as a radio newsman with nightly 5-minute national broadcasts. In 1942 he was made director of the Office of War Information where he served throughout the war., after which he received the Medal of Merit. He later was chief news analyst for ABC news. In 1951 he won the Peabody Award. ; foxing, else VG/VG
