New York: Simon & Schuster, 2013. Second printing [stated]. Hardcover. viii, [2],434, [4] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Sources. Index. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads For Mary and Bill Lawler with all good wishers Jeffrey Frank. Jeffrey Frank is a journalist and author from Washington, D.C. He was the deputy editor of the Outlook Section in the Washington Post. Frank worked for the Post for almost 12 years. Frank has written four novels: The Creep, The Columnist, Bad Publicity, and Trudy Hopedale. He is the author of Ike and Dick: Portrait of a Strange Political Marriage. He worked at The Washington Post and The Washington Star. Derived from a Kirkus review: Former Washington Post editor Frank delves into political biography, focusing on the complicated relationship between Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon. Though both private men from similar backgrounds, Eisenhower and Nixon differed in many ways. When Eisenhower chose Nixon, then a senator from California, as his running mate in 1952, it seemed to be more the choice of political expediency. The pair’s long relationship was marked by “a fluctuating, unspoken level of discomfort,” and they were never close. The author portrays Nixon’s vice presidency as often frustrating and stressful. The president’s health issues made a Nixon succession a real possibility on multiple occasions. Throughout, Frank highlights the major events of the Eisenhower presidency, the following presidential elections and beyond, filtering them effectively through the lens of the Eisenhower-Nixon dynamic.

New York: Simon & Schuster, c1991. First Printing. Hardcover. 24 cm, 429 pages. Name and date written inside front board, minor staining to edges. Front board slightly weakened. Out of Thin Air is the story of the news behind the news. Studded with personal anecdotes, this is the inside story of the people and events that shaped the way TV reports the news. Frank gives readers a revealing look at how hit-or-miss the development of TV news was--and what a seat-of-the-pants adventure creating the news turned out to be. Agreeably sardonic reflections and recollections from a top broadcaster whose career in TV coincided with its emergence as a preeminent news medium. During his 38 globe-trotting years with the network, he wrote as well as produced a variety of news programs, including the Huntley-Brinkley Report, so-called instant specials, and a flock of prize-winning documentaries. In recounting the swift rise and subsequent fall of broadcast news in the context of his own experiences at NBC, Frank offers the equivalent of an anecdotal history of the post-WW II era. During its heyday, he argues, TV not only covered but also helped shape great events. With trashy infotainment shows now crowding the airwaves, the author concludes that TV has sold its birthright for a mess of pottage. A witty, illuminating memoir of the years when TV news was a hit-or-miss proposition. More

Stanton Terry Friedman (born July 29, 1934) is a retired nuclear physicist and ufologist who resides in Canada. He is the original civilian investigator of the Roswell incident.
