Reporters Walk Out on Rockefeller

 

Nov. 13, 1959, Times Cover
 
New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller’s plan for separate news conferences for print and broadcast reporters backfires when the TV and radio crews in Los Angeles walk out on him.

Louie Malle’s New Wave film “Lovers” is just plain immoral, Philip K. Scheuer says.

Nov. 13, 1959, Sports “Bruins Tiff Wolfpack?” Keith, can you translate that for me?

 

Nov. 13, 1959: Smog clouds the view on Broadway, looking south from 1st Street … And a temporary employee with the U.S. Forest Services admits setting the Angeles Crest fire that burned 14,000 acres and killed two firefighters.

    Hi Larry, don’t think I’ve ever seen Tiff as a verb before but it’s a boffo use of a short headline count 🙂
    My favorite part of the page has to be the shot (er, pun intendend) of Nellie Fox getting ready for a hunting trip… Fox Named AL’s Most Valuable… or else?

    The walkout by the TV/Radio corps is fascinating!
    I recall how the press capitulated at the start of the Reagan administration when they were told that they were to remain seated and quietly raise their hands if they were to expected to be called upon during presidential press conferences.
    During the W. Bush administration the “dean” of the White House correspondents, Helen Thomas, was unceremoniously moved from the front row to the back of the room with nary a protest from her colleauges…how times have changed.
