RAYMOND CLAPPER WATCHING THE WORLD

by Mrs. Raymond -- Ed. Clapper ‧ RELEASE DATE: July 10, 1944

Preceded by a biographical sketch by Mrs. Clapper and a foreword by Ernie Pyle, here is a collection of Raymond Clapper's columns, reflecting the man, honest, nonpartisan, down to earth -- ""vast experience and good common sense"". From the Middle West, he worked his way up the hard way, representing an authentic American tradition. His columns were independent, fair, hard-hitting. The selections are topically divided; they cover journalism, democracy, Roosevelt (more pros than coms), the New Deal, the Republican Party and its atrophy, Congress, labor, taxes, inflation, the war -- events leading up to it -- then on to his death in the Battle of the Marshalls. A good record of a decade of American opinion, of the controversies, issues, developments. will be launched with substantial pre-publication advertising -- good publicity.
