3 comments about Working Press.
- Who knows why they called McCarthy "The Silver Bullet," but with only a hint of nostalgia, McCarthy takes a compelling dash through an exciting but bygone day that makes clear why he became a reporter. Rough edges? Sure. But this is a reporter with a strong ego, not pomposity. No thumbsucking here.It's down on the street.
- Finally; a new generation will know what catching a "scoop" is all about! Ed McCarthy, author and newsman, reveals that the best news is often not to be found in the headlines. McCarthy's style captures the innocense of a nation gripped by what was written as well as what was held back from print. You'll enjoy his sharp wit as the author takes you on a tour when the pen was mightier than the picture and the simple story was bigger than the hype. McCarthy has a talent for making you feel like you're right there with him as events unfold. Ed is a great storyteller and quite honestly, you find yourself agreeing and arguing with his point of view. At the end of the book you're ready to meet him and strike up a strong conversation! If HBO gets their hands on this... WORKING PRESS will do for the newsman what ARLISS does for the sports agent. The big advantage with WORKING PRESS is...these stories are real!
- A reporter's reporter, Ed McCarthy pulls no punches as he takes readers through some of the most exciting newspaper stories in the 20th century. This personalized account behind the headlines is both fascinating and shocking. The media knew no bounds, no limits, and flexed its muscles that made politicians shrink and the world go around. Those glory days where reporters were reporters, and honor meant more than filing a cheap expose, Ed McCarthy is the one and only silver bullet

1 comments about The Lives of Norman Mailer: A Biography.
- Leon Edel said this about my biography: "A low-keyed narrative of the novelist and journalist from enfant terrible to grizzled sexagenarian designed to seek out the literary artist behind the mask of self-advertisement. Complete with domesticity--sweethearts, wives, progeny, and four-letter words. A very good read."
