Kemler, Edgar | January 7, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on James Reston, correspondent of the newspaper "New York Times," This is not, as some of his rivals have suggested, because he lacks journalistic dignity, but if anything, because he has too much. Since 1944, when he made his real Washington debut as one of the top men in the newspaper there, he has challenged every Administration to prove that it was facing up to the "simple realities" in policy-making. Since such proof has not been forthcoming voluntarily, he has been forced, in effect, to get it involuntarily. Moreover, to the extent that this kind of operation tends to show up the policy-makers, Reston has become unpopular with them.
