Lot of Six Signatures of Journalists
<B>Lot of Six Signatures of Journalists,</B></I> including: <B>George Sokolsky</B></I> (1893-1962) was a weekly radio broadcaster and a columnist for <I>The New York Herald Tribune,</B></I> who later switched to <I>The New York Sun</B></I> and other Hearst newspapers. Sokolsky became a vocal supporter of Senator Joseph McCarthy, an intimate of J. Edgar Hoover, and a close friend of Roy Cohn. The Korean War entrenched him in his suspicions of a vast anti-American conspiracy. In one of his columns he asked, If our far eastern policy was not betrayed, why are we fighting in Korea? In his newspaper column Sokolsky supported the far right wing of the Republican Party; <B>Mark Hellinger</B></I> (1903-1947) is primarily known as a New York theatre critic and reviewer. He produced a number of films including his last film <I>The Naked City</B></I> (1948), a black-and-white film noir for which he also provided the narration; <B>Walter Lippman</B></I> (1889-1974) was an influential United States writer, journalist, and political commentator. He held no assumption of news and truth being synonymous. For him a journalist's version of the truth is subjective and limited to how he constructs his reality; <B>George Creel</B></I> (1876-1953) was an investigative journalist, a politician, and, most famously, the head of the United States Committee on Public Information, a propaganda organization created by President Woodrow Wilson during World War I; <B>David Lawrence</B></I> (1888-1973) was a conservative newspaperman and former student of Woodrow Wilson's at Princeton University. Later in his life, Lawrence founded and edited a weekly news magazine <I>U.S. News & World Report</B></I>; <B>Quentin Reynolds</B></I> (1902-1965) was a journalist and World War II war correspondent. As associate editor at <I>Collier's Weekly</B></I> from 1933 to 1945, Reynolds averaged twenty articles a year. He also published twenty-five books, including <I>The Wounded Don't Cry, London Diary,</B></I> and <I>Dress Rehearsal.</B></I> After World War II, Reynolds was best known for his libel suit against columnist Westbrook Pegler, who called him "yellow" and an "absentee war correspondent". All very fine. <B></B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
