(Part 2) Best journalist biographies according to redditors

But not this one.

For a broader look at the military and economic coercion of Latin America from the 1950s to the 1980s, see The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein. For her coverage of Argentina, she draws heavily on True Crimes: Rodolfo Walsh and the Role of the Intellectual in Latin American Politics, which provides a great feel for the economic and social changes resulting from the country's various coups and uprisings.

This is admittedly a very leftist point of view of the situation, and one based more in issues of populism vs. neoliberalism in general than in Argentina specifically. For more on your specific question, this seems like a great starting point, if you haven't looked into it already: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_history_of_Argentina

EDIT: Here's a solid primary source on US support of the Argentine military junta in 1976: http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB133/

> his treatment of Stalin is purely naive.

Does he deserve a Walter Duranty award?

This is mostly accurate. Lewin wrote a book, Ballgame!, about his time with the Rangers that's worth reading. He said there was no animosity between him and TAG, and basically it was Ryan that ran him out of town.

You are of course aware of NPR's reputation for left-wing bias among half the electorate, and that NPR's funding is always low-hanging fruit when fiscal conservatives come to power in the House. Getting the vapors at hearing anyone to the right of David Brooks does nothing to dispel this reputation.

Here is Charles and Elizabeth's family in 1850 when Charlotte was just nine months old. The 1855 state census says that she was born in Ontario County.

Charlotte was a Rea in 1880, and was identified as the daughter of Charles. In her father's 1900 estate file, Charlotte A. Smith, living at 260 Dean Street, was identified as his daughter. She is shown here in 1905, living with her brother Samuel in Brooklyn. This might be her in 1910. If so, she had been twice married (the last time around 1883, presumably to Mr. Smith), and had three children, two then living. Joseph Rea and Charlotte Amelia Bronson had three children recorded in New York, and we know that Elizabeth Matilda and her brother George Bronson Rea were both living in 1910.

A biography of George was published last year. Here's a page from that book which mentions his sister Elizabeth Mathilde. The next page says that Charlotte filed for divorce from Joseph Rea in 1870.

This is pretty old but anyway:

Carole also wrote a book about her time in the US, including the interview:

I took a college course on book editing. Here were a few of the texts:

Editors on Editing

The Fiction Editor

Editing: Fact and Fiction

and two other narratives about experienced editors (although the industry has changed vastly in the time since they were editors)

That is what I want for Christmas, showing the start of his career.

Yea, the motorcycle rally. This year(2017) will be the 77th Sturgis Rally, but since 1990ish it's been really corporate and way more tame. However, in the earlier days it was quote unquote 'real' bikers. Guys in gangs, who roved around North America on their bikes doing meth/crank raping teenagers and getting people hooked on drugs.

If you've ever heard of Hunter S Thompson, he wrote a book on the biker subculture titled, 'Hell's Angels : The Stange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs' before it was pussified by white collar guys who like motorcycles as a hobby. He followed them around and wrote what he saw, which for the most part showed the seedy underbelly of the 'Biker Culture'.

I'm glad it was pussified, because rape and meth aren't really things I condone. However, the guy filming this and then being pissy that a not 'real biker' is wearing a TV branded leather vest is pretty hilarious because an old school quote unquote 'real' biker would have shoved that camera so far up his ass, he'd be seeing his fillings.

There are almost no 'real' bikers anymore because it was a destructive lifestyle that didn't really lead to longevity. Turns out that being a 'fake' Biker who is also a Doctor leads to a longer life and being able to afford the upkeep of a bike. Also, they wear helmets, because they understand brain damage.

There is a graphic novel about Hunter, which covers this some as well. Couldn't find the page image.

Friday Night Lights, The book based on the real Permian Panthers that the movie was based on.

It's Not About The Bike Lance Armstrong's memoir

Hate Mail from Cheerleaders, A collection of Rick Reilly's best articles.

Idiot, Not very well-received and somewhat poorly written (technically), but I found it very entertaining and as much of a quirky chronicle of the Red Sox march to the World Series as a book about Damon. Worthy of consideration , in my humble opinion.

Probably more that I'll add as I remember them, but these are a start considering no one had responded yet...I think you have a great idea by the way-I would love to take this class

Feeling pretty chuffed about my fifth straight five-star Amazon review. Still not selling many books, but you take any small win, yes?

The book is The Man Who Signed the City, an anthology of profiles that I've written over the past 35 years. Find more here: The Man Who Signed the City .

You might enjoy [52 McGs.: The Best Obituaries from Legendary New York Times Reporter Robert McG. Thomas] (http://www.amazon.com/52-McGs-Obituaries-Legendaryebook/dp/B000FBJFCS/ref=sr_1_1ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=digital-text&qid=1279410528&sr=8-1)

A few years back I restored/fixed up a 87 924s. Without going into the details, I bought it for $2200, sold it after about a year for $2500 after having put probably $5000 into it. Finally sold it because I got tired of the what's going to break next feeling.

I suggest that you look at older Boxsters. Searching on cars.com I found quite a few in the sub-10k range. You may have to finance, but you will have a regular payment, and after a year you will still have a car that is worth ~8k. What got me with the 924 was every couple of months something would break that would take money and time to fix--averaged out a car payment would have been cheaper. The other plus side of the Boxster is that by virtue of being post 1996 it will have an odb2 port which makes diagnostics a whole lot easier. Also don't forget performance, a 88 944 had a 0-60 time of 8.5s, a 99 Boxster clocks in at 6.3s that is a very noticeable difference.

Two bits of wisdom from two different friends. When I told one guy about the 924 he told me, "you'll keep it until you get tired of fixing it," he'd recently sold a 68 mustang he'd had for years. Another guy told me (and I think this is true of almost any car unless you are a professional mechanic with a shop and lots of experience,) "it's cheaper to buy a car at a certain level of condition than it is to bring a car up to that level."

We used this and this for a CN class. Those might help you get an idea of the process and there are a ton of examples, exercises and prompts that could inspire you. I was wary of writing of CN before the class, but it turned out to be pretty fun.
