Returning to New York, Mr. Smith got a job at Newsweek. He joined The New York Post in 1957 and left in 1960 to write his first book, “The Life and Death of Serge Rubinstein” (1962), about the still-unsolved 1955 murder of a Wall Street millionaire. Gene Smith, who depicted the lives of presidents, prime ministers and generals in a series of biographies, among them the 1964 best seller “When the Cheering Stopped: The Last Years of Woodrow Wilson.” Mr. Smith wrote how the former president, long debilitated by a stroke and respiratory problems, had sought solace in the countryside. “When the Cheering Stopped” chronicles the death of the president’s first wife, Ellen Wilson, in 1914; his courtship of the Edith Bolling Galt and their marriage in 1915; his triumphal reception in Europe after World War I; and his failed campaign for American membership in the League of Nations. Of Mr. Smith’s 19 books, perhaps the next best-known is “The Shattered Dream: Herbert Hoover and the Great Depression”.

Herron (January 21, 1862 – November 9, 1925) was an American clergyman, lecturer, writer and socialist activist. During World War I, Herron broke with the anti-militarist Socialist Party of America, became a self-assigned diplomat and filed regular intelligence reports on German public opinion to the American and British governments in support of the Allied war effort. In 1916, when President Woodrow Wilson campaigned successfully for re-election under the slogan "He Kept Us Out of War", Herron contended that Wilson was far from neutral towards the European conflict and inferred that he was waiting for the appropriate juncture to enter the United States into the conflict Herron was considered in Europe as among the most reliable interpreters of the intentions of the Wilson administration, an assessment that was only enhanced when Herron's pronouncements came true in April 1917, only the second month of Wilson's second term as President, with American entry into the war.

He worked as a journalist in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., before becoming editor and part owner of the New York Evening Mail. He also wrote several monographs about political figures, and a biography of Horace Greeley. The author died after the book had been largely written and the editor addressed the whole manuscript, with the intention to carry out the author's scope and intention. Roosevelt courted publicity aggressively, not simply to boost his ego but also to effect vigorous reform. “Yes—it is true that TR liked the centre of the stage—loved it in fact,” wrote the journalist Henry Stoddard [a long-time friend of TR], “but when he sought it he always had something to say or to do that made the stage the appropriate place for him.”.
