Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Company, 1971. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Hardcover. The format is approximately 5.875 inches by 8.625 inches. x, 242, [2] pages. Illustrated endpapers. Illustrations. A Glossary of Newspaper Terms. Index. Ms. Adler wrote ''A Day in the Life of The New York Times'', an account, hour by hour, of what the newspaper's staff did to put out the issue of Feb. 28, 1969, a date chosen arbitrarily, on which there was no earth-shaking news. Ruth Adler kept the staff of The New York Times informed about its own milestones and behind-the-scenes adventures and shaped the legends and lore of The Times for other journalists and students for 33 years as editor of the newspaper's in-house journal Times Talk. Behind every news story there is an untold -- or rarely told -- tale of the reporter's personal experience: the hazards of covering a war or a riot, the grind of the campaign trail, a correspondent's travails with foul weather, bad food, crazy hours, unworkable communications and implausible expense accounts. Ms. Adler chronicled these tales, and countless more routine doings, for the newspaper's 5,000 employees in a house organ that was one of the best and most widely read periodicals on the practice of journalism. Ruth Adler was born on July 10, 1910, and, graduated from Smith College and attended the Sorbonne in Paris for a year before joining The Times in 1934. In 1947, she was asked to establish an internal news publication for the staff. Arthur Hays Sulzberger, the publisher gave her a small staff and complete autonomy to design, edit and produce Times Talk. When Ms. Adler retired in 1980, a full issue of Times Talk was devoted to her. More
