Description:
Journalists aren't held in the greatest esteem these days. Too many are insiders, value a scoop over all else, or are too cowardly to spurn accepted thought. Not Nat Hentoff. Hentoff is the kind of reporter (and citizen) all reporters should aspire to be--"less interested in 'exclusives,'" as he writes in Speaking Freely, than "in making a difference." Speaking Freely is Hentoff's chronicle of a career's worth of making a difference, writing unexpectedly--for a self-proclaimed Jewish atheist civil-libertarian--about everything from Vietnam and Israel to abortion and John Cardinal O'Connor to the Nation of Islam and the ACLU. Hentoff recalls a Village Voice that presented "a forceful diversity of views" and a New Yorker shaped by revered editor William Shawn. Speaking Freely is an inspiring memoir from a man proud to have been called, by one editor, "a general pain in the ass."
