The Mad Bomber Of New York (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
SEYMOUR BERKSON WAS NOT PARTICULARLY ENJOYING CHRISTMAS morning. He had risen early and exchanged gifts with his family, but the usual holiday cheer seemed absent from his typically vibrant demeanor. The dynamic publisher of the New York Journal-American had been bothered by his paper’s handling of the Mad Bomber story, and the events of the past few days had served only to heighten his concerns. He was proud of the urban workingman feel of the Journal-American and its reputation for aggressively covering the local news stories of metropolitan New York, but as he began to see highbrow papers like the Times and the Herald Tribune becoming more active in their reporting on the case, he wondered whether he and his editors had lost their hardnosed competitive edge in the turf war for the world’s most vibrant media market. Now, on Christmas morning, with his competitors’ version of the Bomber story spread haphazardly across his kitchen table, Berkson’s mind began to swim. He had been a longtime envoy of the Hearst Corporation, coming of age as a special correspondent for the International News Service, Hearst’s journalistic “window on the world.”
