On November 14 , 2001 , in the 150th anniversary issue , '' The New York Times '' ran an article by the then retired Frankel reporting that before and during World War II , the '' Times '' had as a matter of policy largely , though not entirely , ignored reports of the annihilation of European Jews . Frankel called it " the century 's bitterest journalistic failure . " Frankel is the author of the book '' High Noon in the Cold War – Kennedy , Khrushchev and the Cuban Missiles Crisis '' ( Ballantine , 2004 and Presidio 2005 ) and , also , his memoir , '' The Times of My Life and My Life with the Times '' ( Random House , 1999 , and Delta , 2000 )
