The Press

From a review of "The Wayward Pressman" by Courtney Terrott In the New York, Times Book Review Section, Nov. 30, 1947.

"It is an unfailing puzzle to the working members of the press ... why so many otherwise solid ... dental appliance mechanics, casket designers ... and scooter salesmen should feel a compulsion to aver 'You know, I used to be a newspaper man myself once.' Usually, it turns out that the man covered hockey for the Harvard Crimson, and is now earning his ulcers as a radio account executive."
