Forthirty years--from 1948 until hisdeath in 1978 Richard Rovere's peri-odic Letter from Washington for TheNew Yorker brilliantly assessed theAmerican political arena in a wayunmatched by any other journalist.Now, in this autobiographical volume,incomplete at his death, Mr. Roverereexamines his life and times in amemoir that is no less than a politicaland literary portrait of an entire era.Rich in personal perspective, FINALREPORTS stands as an altogether fittingrecapitulation of Richard Rovere'slifework: both as a record of thenational spectacle of government andan absorbing journal of self-scrutiny. |
