Name in ink inside the front cover. Occasional ink comments noted. Timothy Crouse (born 1947) is an American journalist and writer. He wrote for the Boston Herald before joining the staff of Rolling Stone where he worked as a contributing editor from 1971 to 1972. Crouse is the author of The Boys on the Bus, a largely critical look at the journalists who covered the 1972 US presidential campaign. The only other writer interested in covering the election was his colleague, the legendary writer Hunter S. Thompson. "It only took a few days of riding the bus for me to see that the reporters themselves would make a great story," Crouse said. Crouse also profiled Hunter S. Thompson in the book. [Thompson] "wrote to provoke, shock, protest and annoy," wrote Crouse. Crouse also profiled R.W. Apple, the legendary reporter and editor at the New York Times. Reporters "recognized many of their own traits in him, grotesquely magnified. The shock of recognition frightened them. Apple was like them, only more blatant. He openly displayed the faults they tried to hide: the insecurity, the ambitiousness, the name-dropping" and "the weakness for powerful men." Crouse coined the term pack journalism. "The press likes to demonstrate its power by destroying lightweights, and pack journalism is never more doughty and complacent than when the pack has tacitly agreed that a candidate is a joke." Crouse was a columnist for Esquire & wrote for The New Yorker and The Village Voice. More

Annapolis, Maryland: Naval Institute Press, 2011. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. x, [2], 399, [5] pages. Includes Acknowledgments; Introduction; Appendix: Books by Hanson W. Baldwin; Notes; Selected Bibliography; and Index. DJ has some scratches. The author taught at Minnesota State University--Moorhead for over thirty years. He was also the author of Peacefully Working to Conquer the World. Hanson W. Baldwin, an editor at the New York Times for almost forty years, was one of America's best-known military writers and analysts of World War II and the Vietnam War. Although committed to a strong national defense, Baldwin nevertheless warned against a potentially harmful arms buildup. His news scoops upset many, but were in keeping with his determination to tell his readers what its government was doing. His continuing criticism of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's management of the Vietnam War and the Times management's annoyance with his pro-war position contributed to his decision to retire in March 1968. After retirement he continued to write articles on military affairs for the news columns and Op-Ed page of the New York Times. More
