Title: curiously uninformative and flacid
Product review: Other than some family lore, there isn't much new in this book to anyone familar with the history and culture of the New York Times, and what's new isn't especially interesting. It values density over insight. It's remarkably devoid of journalistic analysis. It is weak on business analysis. As biography, it's a snooze. As journalism, it's a thumb-sucker, like one of those overwrought stories they run on the day after Labor Day, when there's nothing better in the hopper and lots of space to fill. I could put it down, and did.
