Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

[14], 238, [4] pages. Illustrations. Some soiling edge front flyleaf & card "with the compliments of the author" paper clipped, some wear & small tears to DJ edges. Nancy Dickerson (January 19, 1927 - October 18, 1997) was a pioneering American radio and television journalist. As famous as a celebrity and socialite as she was for her journalism, she later became an independent producer of documentaries. Dickerson got her break in 1954, when she was hired by CBS News's Washington bureau. She would also become associate producer of Face the Nation. In 1960, CBS made her its first female correspondent. She reported for NBC News from 1963 to 1970, covering all the pivotal stories: political conventions, election campaigns, inaugurations, Capitol Hill, and the White House. She is noted as being the first woman correspondent on the floor of a political convention. In 1963, she covered the 1963 March on Washington, in which Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. On February 22, 1962, she married industrialist C. Wyatt Dickerson, and they lived at "Merrywood," a 46-acre estate in McLean, Virginia throughout most of the marriage. Derived from a Kirkus review: Dickerson unabashedly enjoyed being among those present in the Capitol power hubs. As the first woman TV correspondent for CBS (later for NBC), she covered three Presidents, innumerable state dinners, news conferences and political campaigns. She came to know Washington grand dames like Alice Roosevelt Longworth anti Rose Kennedy. She does a smart precis on the 1960 Democratic Convention when JFK tendered Johnson the VP spot, hoping that he wouldn't accept. Watergate left her shocked, but it didn't sour her on "the system" which redeemed itself by expelling the President. Dickerson is fully conscious of the sex prejudice she encountered. She tells her stories with good-humored panache and, not incidentally, makes it clear that Nancy was a very sought after woman.
