Here's one of the best Amazon.com reviews I have seen so far. While it is written by the author about his own book, the man was way ahead of his time: Bad News was written over a period of a dozen years in response to Richard Nixon's disgrace. It contrasted John F. Kennedy's disastrous foreign policy (Bay of Pigs, Vienna summit, Berlin Wall, Vietnam war) with Nixon's brilliant one that left the Soviet Union dying, until it was revived temporarily during Jimmy Carter's tenure. I had covered many of the events in it.I bought the book in 1997, and it did much to confirm what I suspected. The heirs of Walter Duranty continue their rule. Hence, I was honored to jump at the opportunity to join in the successful parody. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Anyone seriously interested in the much-covered-up background of the New York Times The only thing I would add to Mr. Braley's review is "If the openness of the blogosphere had existed in 1984, the book would have had a chance."
