Download Beware of Limbo Dancers: A Correspondent's Adventures with the New York Times AudioBook Free
This witty, wide-ranging memoir from Roy Reed - a native Arkansan who became a reporter for the New York Times - starts with tales of the writer's formative years growing up in Arkansas and the start of his profession at the legendary Arkansas Gazette. Reed signed up with the New York Times in 1965 and was quickly thrust in to the chaos of the Selma, Alabama protest movements and the historical interracial march to Montgomery. His storyline then goes from times of racial assault to the political fight of Washington. Reed protected the Johnson White House and the early times of the Nixon supervision as it wrestled with the fighting demands of dark-colored voters and southern resistance to a fresh world. The memoir concludes with participating postings from New Orleans and London and other journeys of an reporter always on the lookout for new people, old ways, good company, and fresh outrages.
