"For anyone even remotely interested in American literature and journalism, Not So Wild a Dream is a must-read, and a joy."– Dan Rather In this captivating first-person account, Eric Sevareid describes in thrilling detail his time as a journalist covering international affairs during World War II. From a young man in North Dakota to an instrumental figure in establishing CBS as an international news organization, Sevareid witnessed the shaping of America's journalistic landscape. His experiences provide an invaluable glimpse into the trials and tribulations of a dogged reporter. With current distrust of the press on the rise, Sevareid's insight is poignant and all the more necessary. "The book is an excellent sketch of the war's progress, and a thoughtful personal record of Mr. Sevareid's adventures--one of the most far ranging war correspondent journals yet published."– Library Journal

Merriman Smith ruled the WH Press Corps with firmness and fairness. At the time of his tenure, the reporters assigned to cover the president were required to adhere to an unwritten rule not to embarrass the president or his family. Smith saw to it that this was accomplished. He was the liaison between the WH Press Office and the reporters. Watergate coverage abolished this once and for all. Everything is fair game now. The reporters now can dig into the personal life of the first family and expose any thing that is real or imagined. This book reveals the way Smith and the other reporters covered 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. up to the late 60s.
