Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First Printing. xiii, [3], 495 [1] pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index., Small distribution insert laid in. Rear DJ flat creased. DJ has some wear, soiling, and edge tears. Chalmers M. Roberts was a chief diplomatic correspondent for The Washington Post who… covered the cold war, the nuclear arms race and the seats of power in Washington in the 1950's and 60's. Mr. Roberts joined The Post in 1949 and took on the diplomatic beat in 1953. Besides global affairs, he covered a range of general assignments, writing about the Supreme Court, Congress, the White House and political campaigns. Before retiring in 1971, Mr. Roberts wrote many of The Post's principal articles on the Pentagon Papers, the official secret history of the Vietnam War. After The Post obtained the documents and the Nixon Administration won an injunction against The Times to block publication on national security grounds, he urged continued publication by The Post and wrote one more article before The Post -- and Mr. Roberts -- were named as defendants in the injunction. His last day at work was June 30, when the Supreme Court struck down the administration's effort to restrain publication. He was the author of five books: a 1973 memoir, "First Rough Draft: A Journalist's Journal of Our Times"; "Washington Past and Present" (1950); "The Nuclear Years: The Arms Race and Arms Control 1945-70" (1970); "The Washington Post: The First 100 Years" (1977); and "How Did I Get Here So Fast? Rhetorical Questions and Available Answers From a Long and Happy Life" (1991). The Washington Post (sometimes abbreviated to WaPo) is an American daily newspaper published in Washington, D.C. It is the most widely circulated newspaper within the Washington metropolitan area. Daily broadsheet editions are printed for the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. The newspaper has won 69 Pulitzer Prizes. This includes six separate Pulitzers awarded in 2008, second only to The New York Times's seven awards in 2002 for the highest number ever awarded to a single newspaper in one year. Post journalists have also received 18 Nieman Fellowships and 368 White House News Photographers Association awards. In the early 1970s, in the best-known episode in the newspaper's history, reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein led the American press's investigation into what became known as the Watergate scandal. Their reporting in The Washington Post greatly contributed to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. In years since, the Post's investigations have led to increased review of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The newspaper was founded in 1877 by Stilson Hutchins (1838-1912), and in 1880 it added a Sunday edition, becoming the city's first newspaper to publish seven days a week. In 1889, Hutchins sold the newspaper to Frank Hatton, a former Postmaster General, and Beriah Wilkins, a former Democratic congressman from Ohio. To promote the newspaper, the new owners requested the leader of the United States Marine Band, John Philip Sousa, to compose a march for the newspaper's essay contest awards ceremony. Sousa composed "The Washington Post". It became the standard music to accompany the two-step, a late 19th-century dance craze, and remains one of Sousa's best-known works. In 1898, during the Spanish-American War, the Post printed Clifford K. Berryman's classic illustration Remember the Maine, which became the battle-cry for American sailors during the War. In 1902, Berryman published another famous cartoon in the Post - Drawing the Line in Mississippi. This cartoon depicts President Theodore Roosevelt showing compassion for a small bear cub and inspired New York store owner Morris Michtom to create the teddy bear. On June 1, 1933, Meyer bought the paper at a bankruptcy auction for $825,000 three weeks after stepping down as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. He had bid anonymously. The Post's health and reputation were restored under Meyer's ownership. In 1946, he was succeeded as publisher by his.

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First Printing [Stated]. xiii, [3], 495, [1] pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. Gift insert plate signed by Katharine Graham laid in. Some wear to DJ edges. Inscribed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads For Arthur Ellis--one of the real heroes of…this book All the best Chal Roberts. Arthur Ellis is reference in the index at pages 193 and 457. Arthur Ellis was a Washington Post staff photographer for nearly a half-century. Mr. Ellis began his career at The Post in 1930. Over the years, he not only took many memorable pictures, but also served as photo editor of this paper in the early 1950s, and was the author of feature stories and book reviews. He had a 47-year career that was interrupted by service in the Army during World War II. At his retirement, he was The Post's chief photographer. Chalmers M. Roberts was chief diplomatic correspondent of The Washington Post and the author of books on such topics as nuclear arms control and the joys of being a grandfather. In a business that has been marked increasingly in recent years by specialization, Mr. Roberts was an old-fashioned generalist. He wrote about the Supreme Court, Congress, occupants of the White House, political campaigns, the redevelopment of Southwest Washington in the early 1950s and the riots that struck the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles in 1965. He was described by Ben Bradlee, a former executive editor of The Post, as a "one-man band who could and did cover any story in the paper." Donald E. Graham, chairman of The Washington Post Co., praised Mr. Roberts's fairness, even-handedness and calm toughness as a reporter. The Washington Post (also known as the Post and, informally, WaPo) is an American daily newspaper published in Washington, D.C. It is the most widely circulated newspaper within the Washington metropolitan area. The Post was founded in 1877. In its early years, it went through several owners and struggled both financially and editorially. Financier Eugene Meyer purchased it out of bankruptcy in 1933 and revived its health and reputation, work continued by his successors Katharine and Phil Graham (Meyer's daughter and son-in-law), who bought out several rival publications. The Post's 1971 printing of the Pentagon Papers helped spur opposition to the Vietnam War. Reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein broke the story about a break-in at the Democratic National Headquarters at the Watergate in Washington D.C. and the cover up that followed. The Watergate scandal resulted in the 1974 resignation of President Richard Nixon. In October 2013, the Graham family sold the newspaper to Nash Holdings, a holding company owned by Jeff Bezos, for $250 million. As of 2020 the newspaper had won the Pulitzer Prize 65 times for its work, the second-most of any publication (after The New York Times). It is considered a newspaper of record in the U.S. Post journalists have received 18 Nieman Fellowships and 368 White House News Photographers Association awards. The paper is one of the few remaining American newspapers to operate foreign bureaus.
