Description

Shop talk at a high level between the man who had run the week-to-week operations of Time for two decades and the man who founded and has the final say at National Review. Time does not, as we're reminded on this show, maintain the fiction that most of our daily newspapers do-the fiction of reporting the news "straight" and commenting only in editorials or "news analyses." As for National Review, it used to bill itself on every cover as "a journal of fact and opinion." WFB: "At some point, the brass at Time magazine will decide, will it not, whether it desires the election of Nixon or let's say Humphrey ... How will that communicate itself to the readers-or am I being terribly naive?" OF: "Oh, I would say you're fairly naive, yeah. I think there's never been any doubt as to whom Time was for in any election."
