Description: By GAY TALESE A fourteen-story gray Gothic building on 43rd Street in Manhattan houses the world's mightiest newspaper kingdom-whose power is such that those who run it and work for it influence the course of human history. Each day the "paper of record," The New York Times, appears in 11,464 cities around the nation and in all capitals of the world. A foreign minister in Taiwan is so dependent on its news coverage that he has the thick Sunday edition flown to him each weekend-at a cost of $16.40. The fifty copies of The Times that make their way to the White House each morning are scanned apprehensively for the verdict on government policies, while hundreds of thousands of Americans learn what is happening all over the globe, and what to think of it from the New York Times. How a bankrupt newspaper (circulation only 9000, with $300,000 in accumulated debts and losing money at the rate of $1,000 a day Adolph Ochs bought it in 1896) grew it to Olympian heights is chronicled in luminous ous and absorbing detail by former Timesman Gay Talese. Book is in acceptable/good condition. DJ is worn but the actual boards of the book are in good shape.
