Beschrijving

Mitchell, who began her long career as a television reporter at a time when women were severely restricted, gained respect as she faced down a range of powerful figures from Philadelphia mayor Frank Rizzo to Cuban leader Fidel Castro.  
 
In this absorbing memoir, Mitchell recalls her climb to the top of her profession, including stints at NBC Nightly News, Today, and Meet the Press.  
 
Mitchell recalls encounters with major figures, from bullying by Don Regan to the kindness of President Reagan even as he was being heavily scrutinized for Iran-Contra.  
 
She offers a behind-the-scenes look at powerful Washington politicos, including her husband, Federal Reserve chairman, Alan Greenspan.  
 
Mitchell also offers a personal glimpse into her life, weighing the personal access that her relationship with Greenspan gave her to powerful figures against worries about her journalistic independence.  
 
This is a frank and revealing book by a respected journalist whose career spans three decades. 
 
Vining (2005), 414 blz, met zwart-wit foto's en een uitgebreid register. 
 
Gebonden (gekartonneerd) met zéér licht smoezelige stofomslag.
