Great photos. Thank you. Wonder what these gents would have said if they knew what they might be writing for thé editorial page would decades later wind up on the front page.
ReplyDeleteBack when the media vocabulary didn't include "reach out," "going forward," "call out," "clap back," "issue" instead of "problem," "pass" instead of "die," or "iconic," and "icon" referred to Eastern Church art, not to anything or anyone known to more than three people.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteIs it just me, or do bow ties simply look wrong with button-down collars?
ReplyDeleteWorks for me with either a button down or point collar. that is definitely a Brooks Brothers shirt.
DeleteOh goodness - if I hear "iconic" one more time and let's add "journey" and "narrative"........Mr. Bowtie can't decide between a pipe or a cigarette.......I like the chairs they gave them to sit in all day - I'd be crippled.....I'm curious what those microphones are for on the desk of the first photograph........Was that for their podcast?
DeleteSomewhat like you would expect an editorial staff to look like. Great photos.
DeleteButton down collars are fine with bow ties.
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs of a great past . Sadly now the last place I'd look for the truth Muffy . How times change .........
ReplyDeleteWhere do you look for truth?
DeleteA glimpse of a truly wonderful era. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding shirts
ReplyDeleteThank God for the NYT ! Beacon of hope for us here in Europe! Maarten de Sitter, Netherlands
ReplyDeleteIf the NYT is a beacon of hope then the Netherlands is finished.
DeleteWe say “Thank God for France 24.” For those who know it exists it’s a beacon of straight ahead unbiased journalism with viewpoints from all over Europe and the USA. Check out The Debate weeknights and The World This Week on Fridays. N’inquièterez pas. It’s in English.
ReplyDeleteN'inquiétez pas, mon brave...
DeleteAlden Whitman was much more than his smiling bow tie! A notable journalist who lived through tumultuous national and international times, both economic and political (if those are truly separate). Alden's socio-political views resulted in many personal and professional challenges. Ultimately, Whitman's writing talents found an unlikely role with the NY Times where, as he had done before, made a notable impact.
ReplyDeleteIt was October 1968 by the calendar. I wonder what the discussion was about.
ReplyDeleteVietnam.
