DJ has some wear and soiling and areas of discoloration. Inscribed by author on the fep to Arthur Ellis, longtime chief photographer at the Washington Post. The inscription reads For Arthur Ellis One hell of a photographer & my friend for a long, long time Ben Bradlee. 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. Benjamin Crowninshield Bradlee (August 26, 1921 – October 21, 2014) was an American journalist who served as managing editor, then as executive editor of The Washington Post, from 1965 to 1991. He became a public figure when the Post joined The New York Times in publishing the Pentagon Papers and gave the go-ahead for the paper's extensive coverage of the Watergate scandal. After his retirement, Bradlee continued to be associated with the Post, holding the position of Vice President at-large until his death. In retirement, Bradlee was an advocate for education and the study of history, including his role as a trustee on the boards of several major educational, historical, and archaeological research institutions.

New York: Brill Media Ventures, LP. 2000. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. Format is approximately 9 inches by 11.25 inches. 116 pages. Wraps. Mailing label residue and scuffing on cover. Steven Brill (born August 22, 1950) is an American lawyer, journalist, and entrepreneur who founded monthly magazine The American Lawyer and cable channel Court TV. He is the author of the best-selling book, Tailspin: The People and Forces Behind America's Fifty-Year Fall – and Those Fighting to Reverse It. Brill's Content was one of the most innovative publishing initiatives. Steven Brill had a brainstorm: the public, he thought, was fascinated with news about highly visible media organizations, and this appetite could be converted into a business that would thrive as it revealed the mysteries and missteps of those organizations. In June 1998, Brill launched Brill's Content, a media watchdog publication that ceased publication in fall 2001. After sputtering for years, the vision died. Brill's Content magazine suspended publication, ending a three-year run of dissecting the personalities, obsessions and machinations of news organizations. The magazine caused a stir in its very first issue with Brill's article titled "Pressgate" charging that independent counsel Ken Starr and his office had been the source of much of the information for reporters regarding the grand jury proceedings about the Lewinsky scandal and that as a result Starr may have violated federal law or ethical and prosecutorial guidelines.

His one serious novel, Wet Work, is about a billionaire businessman avenging his granddaughter's death from drugs. Buckley also wrote the non-fiction Steaming To Bamboola, about the merchant marine, and is an editor at Forbes magazine." More
