He was the quintessential Washington insider. Officials used him to test out new ideas on the Public or to drop leaks for which they did not want to be held accountable. Because of his High position at the times a Washington Bureau chief from 1953 to 1964, and columnist from 1954 on a and his personal integrity he was trusted both by those who provided the news and by those who read it. Deadline a Memoir random House is the cheerfully optimistic chronicle of a boy born in a Glasgow slum in 1909 who moved to Ohio with his parents at the age of 10, played soccer at the University of Illinois and worked As a sportswriter in the Midwest in new York and in London until 1939, when a because he always seemed to be in the right place and meet the right person at the right time a he was hired by the times. His career soared like that of a hero in a Frank Capra movie. In 1944 he was assigned to the Washington Bureau to work under the imperious curmudgeon Arthur Krock in 1953 he took Over the Bureau in 1954 he began writing the column that he continued until a couple of years ago. For a few years beginning in 1968, he was executive editor of the paper in new York but he decided that he was happier writing in Washington. During his half Century at the times he picked up two pulitzer prizes trained a Host of younger journalists who arc now eminent figures themselves and became the very Model of the Washington establish Nicutari an journalist. There Are a few potential stories Here. One is americans Rise to global dominance during a Hal Century that began with the outbreak of world War ii in Europe on the very Day Reston went to work for the times. Another is the great human and organizational Story of the times itself from the perspective of on photo essay sings of Black America by Wiley a. Hall Iii the Baltimore evening Sun the editors titled their newly published photographic self portrait of Black America songs of my people Little Brown. But it is More like a symphony a symphony of faces expressions and even body language a symphony that tugs and pulls and resonates until it creates a powerful unforgettable emotional Crescendo. There arc accountants and bandits in this collection Young Urban professionals and elderly Rural labourers there arc pictures of the Rich and famous and successful and pictures of everyday hard working people. Songs of my people is a photographic essay of Black America in All of its complexities a Akin to Franklin d. Roosevelt a depression Era Mission to the nations photographers to produce a photographic Day in the life of America. But easter said there is one big difference. Roosevelt wanted to document As dramatically As possible few maw York Timas James Reston recalls half Century with the times. Who enjoyed close relations with the family owners and who operated at the highest Levels of institutional Power. A third is the Impact the Media have had on politics on the framing of issues and on the Way the country is governed. Unfortunately Reston has chosen instead to reminisce a engagingly and often sentimentally a mostly on the surface of events. Although he criticizes president Reagan for Quot what he did to the mind of the country to its sense of fairness its priorities its better instincts a he concludes by noting that a it was fun covering Ronald Reagan sort of like going to the he writes of Richard m. Nixon a presidency As a a talc of Petty betrayals and massive deceit Quot yet says the Man himself a covered up his Good while observing that a Many of our postwar follies resulted from impulsive presidential actions a he writes that the achievements of the cold War presidents a will be remembered Long after Vietnam watergate Iraq the budget deficits and the political corruption and financial scandals Are sometimes one Waits for an editorial comment that never comes. In writing about Henry a. Kissinger whom he admires he reports with a straight face Kissinger a belief that a we should never have gotten so involved in Vietnam in the first place and that he was a casualty of that the nations misery. The goal of songs of my people is to document Black America s normalcy. Songs of my people was the brainchild of three Young men who created a company new african visions to promote this new image of Black America. One of the editors Eric easter 30, attended Howard University. He served As press Secretary for Jesse Jackson s 1988 presidential Campaign and works in Virginia gov. Douglas Wilder a press office. Another editor Dudley m. Brooks 34, graduated from Morgan state University with a degree in Fine arts before becoming an award winning photographer with the Washington Post. D. Michael cheers 38, majored in photojournalism at the University of Missouri and is working on a . In african studies at Howard University. Last summer armed with an Advance from their publisher Little Brown in new York and several Small Grants the three invited some 50 african american photographers to Washington for planning sessions. They handed out assignments and the photographers went to All Corners of the country. The photographers were Given flexibility but the editors also identified themes they wanted explored pictures of Black fathers caring for their children for instance images of Black family life As Well As Black people hard at work. They wanted to cover the Gamut from Blacks on welfare to upper Middle class Blacks washing their Mercedes automobiles. February 2 1992 sunday a Page
