Russell Baker, Books, Looking Back: A New York Review Collection, From his youthful days as a delivery boy for William Randolph Hearst’s Baltimore newspapers through his many years as a journalist and commentator, Russell Baker has been a keen observer of American politics and culture. Now, in these eleven essays, all originally published in The New York Review of Books, he looks back on a group of iconic public figures from his own past.Profiled here are presidents (Lyndon Johnson feuding with Robert F. Kennedy, and Richard Nixon in his grasping, spectral exile), would-be presidents (Eugene V. Debs and Barry Goldwater, “gentlemen fallen among brutes”), and those who set their sights on something besides the presidency (Joe DiMaggio, and Martin Luther King, “the one indisputably great American of the century’s second half”).Undeluded by the roar of what he calls “our national engines of ballyhoo, bushwah, and baloney,” Russell Baker reflects on the strange fascination that these larger-than-life characters have held for the American imagination. With an elegiac yet shrewd sense of their accomplishments both enduring and ephemeral, he traces the impressions they left on twentieth-century America—and on him.

19th century,20th century,americas,biographies,communication and journalism,education and reference,essays,essays and correspondence,historical,history, Looking Back, Russell Baker is one of America’s most distinguished and best-loved journalists and commentators, famous not only for his long-running, wryly humorous syndicated column reflecting on national issues but for Growing Up, his memoir of his early years in rural Virginia. Baker has been observing American politics and culture for decades, and his years of experience shine through in these commentaries on legendary twentieth-century figures. In these eleven essays, all originally published in The New York Review of Books, Baker brings a profound, even elegaic sensibility to bear on a gallery of heroes and rascals who have, for better or for worse, stirred the American imagination and become essential parts of our history. Included here are appreciative pieces on the great journalists Murray Kempton and Joseph Mitchell, as well as a sober, almost head-shaking review of overheated memoirs of The New Yorker. Another discusses the newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. One essay takes up the near-tragic contrast between the myth and the life of Joe DiMaggio. The others focus on politicians: Eugene V. Debs, the epic feud between Lyndon Johnson and Robert F. Kennedy over the legacy of JFK, Martin Luther King and the passions of the civil rights movement, Richard Nixon in his spectral, grasping exile, and Barry Goldwater’s mercurial yet inspiring role in the rise of the American conservative movement.
